Lot 591
1854 N-7 R2+ Repunched 1 & 4 MS62. Lustrous bluish steel brown with 20% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. There is a tiny, slightly curved struck-through mark on the chin (caused by a tiny piece of lint or wire on the die) and traces of an old fingerprint in the field close to the main curl. M-LDS, die state b. The repunching on the 1 and 4 is gone and a flowline extends from the right base of the 4 down to the right top of a dentil. The fields are rough from flowlines. Tied for CC#5. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #3014.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Greg Gause 2/67-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:20579.
