1838 N-14 R7 (as a die state) F12Glossy light chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has nice eye appeal for the grade.

Second finest of this very popular die state. Called F12 and CC#2 behind a slightly finer example of those few known with the large cud break in the Noyes census, his photo #39377.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Denis W. Loring 1976-R. S.
