1848 N-18 R4+ AU50               $1400

Five points sharper but a light hairline scratch meanders across TES-OF, a very faint one shows at the right top of the second 8, and another even smaller one is close under the first 8. Otherwise this cent is choice, and the eye appeal remains excellent. Attractive frosty light brown with light steel brown toning on the highpoints. LDS state c. A clear die crack extends from the dentils over star 11 to the main curl. Tied for CC#3 overall for the variety but finest of less than two dozen known with the single obverse die crack. DWH #2094.
