Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 122 1825 N-1 R4 EF45 . Sharpness close to AU55 and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent, but a glass show microscopic roughness on the cheek and around star 5 plus a speck of carbon in the field before the eye. Glossy light olive brown with frosty luster peeking through in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a small, dull nick that flattens the tip of the nose plus several dull, light nicks in the field to the left. The reverse is choice. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state b, with the usual die crack through the base of the date and fine radial die flowlines that cover the fields. A very nice example of a scarce variety that is difficult to find in grades better than VF.
