1855 N-9 R1 Knob-on-Ear MS60. Lustrous light brown and golden tan faded down from mint color. Would rate a slightly higher grade but the obverse fields are covered with microscopic lint marks (caused by fine debris on the die). A vertical chip off the left point of star 5 is the only one visible without the aid of a good glass. The reverse is flawless. MDS, die state d. Identical die state to the preceding lot. The "Knob" break is strong.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
