1853 N-24 R2 AU50
Frosty light steel brown with 5-10% of the mint color remaining. Close to mint state but there is a touch of friction on the highpoints and a few small nicks on the chin and jaw. A vertical planchet fissure shows in the hair on the main curl, and the fissure contains some dark planchet slag. It's a mint-made flaw but it does catch your eye thanks to the dark slag. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines at the main and inner curls are gone. Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions 9/28/1991:184-W. H. "Jack" Wadlington collection (includes the Wadlington collection envelope and M&G lot ticket)
