1818 N-4 R4+ EF45. Equal Finest Known. EF-45. Choice glossy olive and chocolate brown with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. The surfaces are very attractive, virtually flawless. The only defects are a thin nick on the base of the second 1 in the date, a couple tiny horizontal contact marks through the O in ONE, and a faint hairline scratch close under the line below CENT. LDS. A strong radial die crack extends from the rim through star 3 into the field towards the lips, and the obverse shows extensive swelling. The O in ONE is very weakly struck, as always in the late state due to the heavy swelling on the obverse. The superior condition of this cent allows one a rare opportunity to see the extensive obverse die failures associated with the late die state. A breathtaking example of this rare and very popular die variety, and a highlight of this remarkable collection. Called EF40 and tied for CC#1 honors in the Noyes census with one other example that offers slightly less detail, his photo #59167. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2902. Estimated Value $20,000-UP. Ex Lennie Schramm 12/17/93-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19749. Categories:
