Lot 773
1851 N-37 R4 AU50. Very close to mint state sharpness but dipped long ago, now nicely retoned lustrous steel brown and light chocolate with peeps of very faded red in protected areas on the reverse. The only marks are a few microscopic ticks around the earlobe. LDS, die state c, with obvious sinking around legend outside the wreath. Tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
