1839 N-10 R3 Booby Head PCGS graded AU50

Frosty light olive and steel brown with peeps of lighter faded red in a few places on the reverse. Very lightly burnished and retoned. The only mark is a thin, barely visible diagonal planchet lamination under the bust tip (as struck). MDS. Looks much better than it might sound (hence the nice grade assigned by PCGS). Our grade is net VF35. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
