. Attractive glossy
medium chocolate brown with slightly lighter steel brown toning
on the devices. No spots, stains, or roughness, only light con-
tact marks scattered over both sides. A very dull nick between

1831 N-11 R2 Medium Reverse Letters VF25+
. Clipped
Planchet. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with
underlying frost in protected areas, especially on the reverse.
The only marks, and they are not at all significant, are a speck
of verdigris low on the neck and a minor rim bruise under the
first 1 in the date. Scarce TDS with a cud break at TES in
STATES, and the cud fills the top of the S. In addition there is a
small mint-made planchet clip that affects the dentils at star 9
and the opposing dentils over the C in AMERICA.

1831 N-14 R4 Large Reverse Letters AU50+
. Sharp-
ness near mint state with just a light touch of friction on
the highpoints, but there is a small patch of roughness
under star 1 and another at the right top of the E in ONE.
Otherwise this cent is free of defects. Lustrous medium
steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint
red showing in protected areas on both sides. MDS. The
rim cud at star 9 is clear and fine radial die flowlines show
outside the wreath. A nice example of a scarce variety
that's difficult to find in high grade. A single mint state
example and only a very few graded AU are known placing
this piece high in the condition census.
Estimated Value .............................................. $2,000-UP

late. Lot of 3 coins.

1832 N-1 R2 Small Letters Reverse AU58
. Choice lustrous
light olive. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent

marks. Essentially flawless in every respect. M-LDS. The die
scratches from the leaf tip under the first A in AMERICA are
gone.
