Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1847 N-8 R3 AU55. Glossy light chocolate brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning in the protected areas. Frosty luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides and this cent offers excellent eye appeal, just a hint of friction from mint state. The only mark is a light scrape on the outer edge of the rim over star 6. E-MDS, die state b, with a very light die crack from the dentils at S-O through the wreath to the dentils at RI in AMERICA.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
