1827  N-12  R5  F15
Sharpness of VF30+ but has lightly granular surfaces. Very dark olive with orangey-brown on some of the highpoints. Despite the less than ideal color and surface, the coin is still glossy and rather attractive, and there are no marks. A significant grade for this variety even after deductions and a contender for the lower end of the condition census. MDS, though collected by Dan Holmes and described by John Wright as a unique late die state due to a crack-like line from the mouth to star 2, which is actually just an effect of the corrosion. This confusion was of course prior to Brett Dudek discovering the incredible TDS coin which ended up in Dan’s collection, too. Ex Denis Loring 3/30/1980 – Dan Holmes, Goldberg’s 9/2010, lot 627.
