1851 N-34 R4 VF35. Slightly sharper but there are a few faint scratches at the date. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown fading to darker olive brown in protected areas. The only other mark is a tiny spot of reddish verdigris nestled between the lower left points of star 5. LDS, die state b. A decent example of this tough variety struck from severely blunted dies.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
