1819 N-7 R4 VF30.
1819 N-7 R4 VF30. VF-30. Sharpness VF35 or slightly better but lightly burnished and retoned a glossy chocolate and olive brown with some steel overtones. No roughness other than the usual die rust that covers most of the reverse. The only marks are a few minor nicks, including a thin diagonal one in the field between the bust tip and star 1 and a couple ticks over the left top of the T in CENT, plus a dull nick in the dentils at the bottom of the reverse. MDS. The obverse die is smooth while the reverse is covered with fine die rust (tiny lumps on the coin), as always. The dentils are complete and clear all the way around the reverse. Called VF35 and tied for CC#5 among the confirmed examples in the Bland census. Noyes says EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#6, his photo #25244. Removed from an NCS slab graded "AU details, burnished," and the NCS label is included. Comes with the Newcomb collection pillbox. DWH #2583.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
