1829  N-9  R4  VF30            $1950  

 

Ten points sharper with a small patch of microscopic roughness in the field between star 12 and the main curl, plus similar patches of roughness on the right side of the reverse. Otherwise the surfaces are satiny and free of defects. Glossy reddish steel brown and chocolate with lustrous lighter steel brown in protected areas. The satiny surfaces and luster suggest a higher sharpness grade, but striking weakness in the usual areas of the hair and leaves makes it difficult to reach any higher. LDS with additional fine die cracks through stars 1-5 extending to the dentils below star 1 plus weaker extensions to the bust tip and neck. All 3 of the A's in the reverse legend are now filled. At the lower end of the condition census for this tough variety.
