LOT 72 1836 N-6 R-2 EF45. Frosty tan and light brown with a puff of lighter golden brown at star 12. No defects. Sharply struck MDS with the usual cud break over star 8. A nice example of the Gobrecht Head version of 1836.

LOT 70 1836 N-3 R-1 EF45. Five points sharper but there is a light (and very easily missed) rim bruise at star 13. Otherwise this cent is choice.
