EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 442 1849/8 N-8 R2 Overdate 9 over 8 VF35 . Five points sharper with small marks including a collection of tiny pinpricks at TES-O. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. E-MDS, die state c, with dull die lines near the dentils at stars 2-4 and die cracks on the reverse. The reverse was struck with a doubled die (a real doubled die, not strike doubling), and the doubling is obvious on the legend left of the wreath. The bottom of the 8 is clearly visible at the right bottom of the 9.

LOT 445 1850 N-5 R4 AU50 . Glossy light to medium olive. Smooth and very attractive with just a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices. Nearly flawless: a tiny tick on the eyebrow and a small planchet flake over the B in LIBERTY are the only marks, and they are microscopic. E-MDS, die state b early. The fields are lightly flowlined and the vertical line down from the inner hair bun is clear.
