Ex Morton, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/2/2012:562-Terry S. Denman Collection

LOT 29 1817 N-9 R2 VF35 . Slightly sharper but there are a few small rim nicks at stars 3 & 4 and another at star 12. Otherwise quite nice with smooth surfaces, attractive light to medium brown toning, and flowline luster in the fields. M-LDS, die state c, with a “Ghost Mouse” on top of the head below star 8. An outline of the “mouse” break is clearly visible where the raised rodent is about to appear. A small nick is located just off the rump of the ghost. An interesting intermediate die state.
