1822 N-1 R3 AU58. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate with underlying very faded mint color bleeding through in some of the protected areas on the reverse. Very attractive, just the faintest trace of friction on the highest points from mint state. Nicely struck EDS. The fields are slightly reflective and there is no trace of die rust on the reverse. A premium example of a variety that's difficult to find in high grade, this one near the bottom of the condition census.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
