Lot 282
1807/6 S-272 R4+ Overdate Small 7 over 6 PCGS graded VG10. Partially glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with slightly lighter chocolate toning on the highpoints. Covered with fine roughness mixed with numerous tiny contact marks plus a half dozen horizontal scratches on the face. Very shallow scale shows in protected areas, particularly on the reverse. No verdigris, and the eye appeal is decent in spite of the imperfect surfaces (which were good enough to get a real grade from PCGS). Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, before any cracks or die clashmarks. A nicely detailed example of this tough "Redbook" variety. Our grade is F15 sharpness net VG8. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 6 finer for the variety. PCGS #36439. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
