1831 N-12/4 R4 (as a die state) VG8A sharply detailed cent, perhaps VF25, but moderately corroded with a greenish patina on very dark olive brown surfaces. Looks like a cent that was lost in soil for an extended period of time. Fortunately the date and devices are complete, even strong. Terminal die state, state j, with a "Harpooned Whale" cud break that consumes five points of star 13 and three of star 12. A rare and very popular die state with one of the largest cud breaks in the entire series of US Large Cents.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex an unrecorded source 7/18/1980 in Washington, DC-Fred H.
