^Lot 64 1835 N-12 R4+ Head of 1834, Small 8, PCGS graded AU55

1835 N-12 R4+ Head of 1834, Small 8, PCGS graded AU55Light to medium brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth but the underlying mint frost is obscured by a thin layer of dirt and natural oxidation. This cent appears to have never been brushed. Lightly worn on the devices with just a few contact marks including a pair of thin nicks on the neck,, another nick right of the upper lip, a scratch left of star 9 to right of star 8, and a minor rim bruise at the first S in STATES. EDS, die state a, before the radial die crack to the dentils right of star 9. There is a triple profile on the lips and many of the stars (from machine doubling), and the reverse is rotated 15 degrees clockwise. A new discovery, rescued from eBay. Needs a proper bath to uncover its full potential. Our grade is VF35, tied for CC#3 of the variety.Certificate Number: 37096.55/41448285Pedigree: Ex eBay-Robert Klosterboer 8/24/2021-Terry S.
