Lot 508
1849 N-24 R3- VF25+. Sharpness VF30 but there are a few tiny contact marks scattered over the obverse, none significant but too many to ignore. Glossy steel and light olive brown with medium brown and light chocolate toning in the protected areas. Very rare LDS, die state c, with a strong rim cud break from just below star 12 to star 13. CC#6 of only 9 examples known in this die state, and the cud is not as strong on several of those pieces.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
