详细说明: Lot 580 1838 N-1 R1. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown.Lustrous chocolate brown with frosty lighter steel brown toning covering the protected areas. The reverse is a few shades lighter than the obverse and both sides are essentially flawless. A microscopic tick on the right upright of the N in CENT will have to suffice for an identifying mark. LDS with a strong rim cud break at ES-OF nearly to the adjacent A in addition to the series of smaller rim cuds nibbling around the obverse rim. The reverse die was lapped to remove roughness, and there are areas of very smooth surface in the fields mixed with other areas where the die roughness was not completely removed. The die polishing severely weakened the tops of UNIT. A neat die state for a common die variety. Called AU55 in the Noyes census, his photo #35891. Our grade is MS60 Choice.
