EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

 EXTREMELY RARE TERMINAL N-9 EX NAFTZGER

LOT 108 1822 N-9 R5- VG7+ . Sharpness F12 but there are numerous contact marks on an otherwise smooth, attractive planchet. A collection of fine hairline scratches cover much of the field before the portrait and there are rim bruises right of star 13 and at the bottom of the reverse. Glossy medium chocolate brown on the devices with lighter brown in the fields and protected areas. Rare late die state with a raised retained cud break at TES, about as fully raised as ever seen for this cud break. Called VG7 in the Noyes census, his photo #21748. Bland says VG8. The fact that this was the best example of the latest state in the famous Naftzger collection attests to its rarity.  Ex Copley Coin Co. (Boston)-Admiral Worthington S. Bitler-Abe Kosoff 4/1961-R.
