1848 N-11 R5 AU50+.
1848 N-11 R5 AU50+. Very attractive frosty medium brown with satiny luster covering the fields and protected areas and peeps of original mint red remaining on the reverse. Nicely struck with excellent eye appeal, close to AU55. A nearly horizontal nick on the cheek left of the ear and a thin vertical one just left of star 12 are the only marks. Semi-unique late die state with two rim cud breaks on the reverse, die state d. The first cud is at ES and the second is at D-S, and both rim cud breaks are bold. CC#2 of only 2 known in this die state and tied for CC#8 for the variety. This is the discovery coin for the die state and is plated in the 2001 Grellman book on late date cents to illustrate the 2-cud version. Noyes photo #30241. DWH #3238.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
