Lot 674
1826/5 N-2 Overdate 6 over 5 AU58+. Beautiful lustrous light olive and bluish steel. Looks choice mint state but there is a trace of very light rub on the highest points of the devices. The only marks are a tiny speck of carbon under star 6 and two microscopic pinpricks on the throat. MDS with tiny crumbling in the upper notch of the N in ONE. The top of the 5 is clearly visible inside the top of the 6. A great example of this popular "Redbook" overdate variety. Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
