Charlotte, NC 28208
1830 N-9 R6+ Large Letters VF25Sharpness EF40 but there is a dull vertical nick on the nostril, a long diagonal one low on the neck, a dull scratch at NT in CENT, and a small patch of fine verdigris over star 2. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy light to medium brown. The reverse is lighter with very faded red in the fields and protected areas and steel brown on the devices. This cent would benefit from a proper retoning on the reverse, and the rarity of this variety certainly justifies the effort required to do it right. MDS, the usual die state with a clear die crack from the bust tip to the dentils under star 1. The details at the bottom of the wreath are relatively softly struck, as always on this variety due to axial misalignment of the dies. Called net VF20 and CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 net VF20 and CC#4. Called "The Bus Stop Coin" after the bus stop located on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the old Bowers & Ruddy retail location. At the time of its discovery by Denis Loring in 1973 this piece was the finest of only 5 known of the variety. The current count is about 20, but most of those are in low grade.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Bowers & Ruddy OTC 5/1973-Denis W. Loring 11/1974-R. E.
