308 1819 N-8 R1 Small Date AU50. Choice frosty chocolate
brown and steel with traces of lighter brown and tan in some of
the protected areas. The fields and protected areas are covered
with satiny mint luster and the eye appeal of this cent is out-
standing. Looks mint state, but there is a trace of friction on the
highest points of the devices. A thin, light diagonal nick under
the ear is the best identifying mark. TDS with a narrow but
clearly defined rim cud break over the first A in AMERICA, an
unreported die state for this variety.
