Lot 572
1853 N-25 R1 Repunched 1 & 3 MS64. Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown, 75% of the original color remaining. The only marks are a thin horizontal nick at the hair left of the hair bun and a small spot of dark brown toning at the left foot of the first A in AMERICA. MDS, die state b. The repunching at the bottom of the 1 & 3 remains clear but the fine die lines on the reverse are gone. Most likely from the Kosoff hoard of mint state examples, but this is a nice one. DWH #3519.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
