Lot 72
1825 C-1 R3 EF45. Rotated Reverse. Five points sharper but there are a few small spots of microscopic roughness well hidden on the reverse, particularly between the H in HALF and the leaf to the left and near the dentil tips over MER. Otherwise the surfaces are choice in every respect. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown blending to olive brown in protected areas. Very sharply struck MDS Manley state 2.0, with the reverse rotated 150 degrees clockwise. The curious notch sometimes found on the edge of this variety is present at star 13. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU55 (label #378976-006 included).
Estimated Value $400-UP.
