1839 N-5 R2 Booby Head VF35. Ten points sharper but covered with extremely faint roughness under a glossy dark olive and steel patina. No verdigris, and the only marks are a light rim bruise at star 2 and a tiny scratch from star 5 to the curl on the forehead. Decent eye appeal in spite of the dark toning. Nicely struck EDS.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
