LOT 508 1828 N-9 R4 VF30+ . Frosty steel brown and chocolate with satiny lighter steel brown in protected areas. Very close to VF35 with some small marks including a dull nick on the jawline near the throat and a collection of tiny scratches close to the hair under star 8. Neither mark is distracting and this cent has very nice eye appeal. MDS.

Close to AU50 but there are a few marks including a microscopic ticks right of the date and a small splash of darker toning below the wreath ribbon.
