Lot 62
1817 N-16 R1 EF40. EF-40. Glossy chocolate and steel brown very delicately mottled with some lighter brown tones. Frosty flowline luster covers the fields and protected areas. No roughness and the only marks are microscopic with none notable. A tiny planchet chip on the rim under the 7 in the date is the best identifying defect. E-MDS. The rim cud break usually present above AM has not formed and the reverse is rotated 10-15 degrees CCW (which normally wouldn’t be important except for the fact that this variety comes with many different reverse rotations). Removed from an NGC slab graded AU55BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2896. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Del Bland 7/19/69-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19732.
