Lot Description

Lovely surfaces exhibit intermingled steel-blue highlights to dominant antique copper patina. The reverse is a bit lighter than the obverse, and both sides have subtle remnants of original color in the form of faded rose undertones. Fully lustrous with a frosty texture and overall smooth appearance. A few wispy marks are scattered about, the most useful identifiers tiny grazes before the digit 1 in the date and below the final letter A in AMERICA. As one of only two die marriages that correspond to the Small 8, Large Stars, Medium Letters <em>Guide Book</em> listing of the date, the 1834 N-2 enjoys heightened demand among variety collectors. This beautiful Choice Mint State example is sure to appeal to discerning large cent specialists.
