1855 N-10 R1 Italic 55 11.5-Star Die State MS60.
1855 N-10 R1 Italic 55 11.5-Star Die State MS60. Lustrous light steel brown with underlying faded mint color showing through in the field and protected areas. A tiny spot of dark toning at the hairline left of star 7 and a very small planchet depression high on the cheekbone are the notable marks. EDS+, die state c. A die clog obliterates star 6 and severely weakens star 1. Star 1 is covered with a shallow low spot but remains visible, and this low spot extends to the 1 in the date and to the bust tip above. The fields are hard and slightly reflective on both sides, but the mirrors are not as strong as those found on the earlier die states a & b. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. DWH #3164.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
