^Lot 268 1839 N-6 R2 Booby Head EF40+

1839 N-6 R2 Booby Head EF40+. Five points sharper but there are a few light contact marks in the field under star 5 and several microscopic pinpricks above the O in ONE. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal remains outstanding. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. MDS. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective. Comes with a nice provenance. Holmes #1718.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
