Lot 286		1831 N-12/3 R5 (as a die state) Large Letters Reverse G4. Sharpness G6 but there is a dull pinch on the rim over star 7 and another at star 11.

Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the toning is an attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Rare VLDS with a huge "Harpooned Whale" cud break covering 5 points of star 13 and nearly two points of star 12. (In the slightly more common terminal state the tip of the lower left point of star 12 is also covered by the cud.)
