1843 N-17 R5 Mature Head VF20. Sharpness near VF35 but there are a few small contact marks scattered over the obverse and a splash of very fine reddish roughness on the upper right quadrant of the reverse. Otherwise the color and surfaces are excellent. No verdigris. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate except for the reddish chocolate splash on the reverse. Nicely struck EDS. A decent if imperfect example of this rare variety, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
