Lot 626 |

1848 N-30 R5. VF-35. Sharpness EF45 but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy light chocolate brown. No spots or stains, just a few light contact marks.

Very nice for the grade in spite of the retoning, perhaps closer to net EF40. Very rare EDS, die state a (Reiver's N-43), with fine die lines at stars 10-12 and AME. Tied for CC#5.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

The fine die lines on the reverse are clear, including the one through the D in UNITED. CC#3 in the Grellman census with the next finest grading only AU50.

1848 N-41 R1. NGC graded MS-65 Brown. Lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with traces of mint color showing on the obverse while 10% of the reverse shows mint red.

Scarce EDS, die state a, before crumbling forms on the left side of the second 8. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 overall but finest of the early state in the Grellman census.
