1851 N-40 R5 F15. Attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and offer excellent eye appeal for the grade. The notable marks are a small rim bruise at star 2, a shallow low spot in the field over the bust tip, and low spots around ONE CENT. For some reason nearly all examples of this rare variety come with similar low spots, most likely caused by grease on the dies. MDS. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds-Ronald J. Houseknecht, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 5/27/2012:377 (lot ticket included). Categories: Liberty Cents
