LOT 48 1818 N-2 R4+ PCGS graded AU58 . Choice glossy medium chocolate brown with frosty lighter steel brown and tan in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has outstanding eye appeal.

MDS, die state d, with an additional die crack up to the dentils from the earlier crack at UNITED-S just left of that S. The crack through the tops of UNITED is stronger but the radial crack to the dentils from the junction of the U & N has not formed.
