1843 N-11 R2- AU55. Frosty bluish steel brown with peeps of mint red remaining on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and quite attractive. The notable marks are a spot of dark chocolate brown toning in the field just right of the inner curl and a faint pinscratch at the dentils over the first S in STATES.
LDS, die state d. The bisecting reverse die crack is complete, although it is weak inside the wreath, extending from the I in AMERICA to the dentils at the first S in STATES.
Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2965.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
