NEWP for the box of 20, 1852 RE Assay, the scarcer variety with "Office" at the top. Care to GTG?? Answer later this evening. 
Added a picture - these are hard to grade as they aren't in general well struck. A XF or AU50 slug would have more dings, especially on the corners and on the reverse design - this slug has none of that - added a "sunlight" photo to show the breaks in the luster on the high points - the rest of the surfaces have full luster.
