Lot 734
1844/81 N-2 R2 Overdate 44 over 81 PCGS graded AU58. Glossy light chocolate brown and olive with bluish steel overtones in the fields and protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are a pair of nicks on the cheek and one more hidden in the hair bun left of star 10. MDS with the usual weak strike on the tip of the coronet (a fully struck example is unknown). The 44 over 81 (actually an inverted 18) is clear. A nice example of this very popular "Redbook" variety. Our grade is EF40+, close to EF45. The attribution and Matthews Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer: 1 in 62, 1 in 63. Value $400 - UP
