Lot 2405
Pair of Cents, 1849 & 1854, both with Dr. French boxes. The first is an 1849 N-4 E-MDS (die state b) VF35 net VF30 for an old recoloring. It comes in a Dr. French box labeled "A-4" and listed as lot #711 in his sale via B. Max Mehl in 1929-1930. The second is an 1854 N-5 MDS (die state b) in EF45 net EF40 for a nick under star 7. It comes in a Dr. French box labeled "A-4" (which corresponds to N-4, not N-5) and is listed as lot #785 in his sale. The grades assigned today are close to the grades listed in the B. Max Mehl catalog, but there is no way to be certain these are the original Dr. French coins that came in the boxes. The boxes, however, are original, and they are what make this lot special. Lot of 2 coins and 2 boxes.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Dr. George P. French collection, B. Max Mehl 1929 FPL, lots 711 & 785.
