Lot 406
1801 S-215 R5. VG-10. Nice glossy light olive and chocolate brown, the highpoints a few shades lighter than the protected areas. There is a small spot of reddish verdigris at the I in LIBERTY; otherwise the surfaces are smooth and show only a few minor contact marks. MDS, Breen state V. There is heavy swelling at the lowest curl and ATES, but the rim cud under the 01 in the date has not formed. The date is strong and the legends are clear. An attractive example for the grade. Removed from an NGC slab graded F12 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). NGC Population 1; One finer in VF35 at NGC for the variety. DWH #2878.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
Ex Carl Wattenbarger 8/3/68-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19489.
