EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

FINEST LATE STATE N-5

LOT 1272 1849 N-5 R4- AU55. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with frosty luster in the fields and protected areas. Satiny and flawless with peeps of mint color in a few places and just a hint of friction on the highpoints. LDS, die state j, with all the crumbles listed in the Grellman reference. CC#8 for the variety but finest of state j in the Grellman census.

Lustrous medium steel brown and light olive with peeps of faded mint color on the obverse and 5-10% of the reverse showing brighter mint red. Satiny and choice with great eye appeal.
