1845 N-1 R4 VF35+
. Sharpness EF45 but there is a light
scratch that skips from star 8 across the highpoints of the hair
to over the T in LIBERTY where it fades out. Otherwise there
are only a few light contact marks on the obverse, none nota-
ble. Glossy steel brown and light chocolate with a small splash
of reddish steel at the AM in AMERICA. Sharply struck LDS, die
state b. The short lines from the dentils under star 1 are gone
and the fields are slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die lap-
ping. A shallow low spot caused by debris (probably grease) on
the die rests against the hair under the left point of star 7.
