LOT 483 1835 N-12 R4 Small 8 & Stars VF25+. Slightly sharper choice surfaces and color except for three small spots of darker toning on the obverse: one on the throat, another smaller one at the end of the bust, and an even smaller one right of star 5. Each spot has a speck of verdigris in the center. Otherwise glossy uniform light brown with slightly darker brown on the highpoints. Only the spot on the throat catches your eye.
