Lot 832
1848 N-4 R4+ PCGS graded VF35. Boldly Repunched Date. Chocolate and steel brown with light olive toning in protected areas. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth showing traces of extremely faint roughness in some places. No spots or verdigris, just some nicks on the cheek and chin and a tiny rim bruise at star 2. Scarce EDS, die state a. Bold repunching shows well left of each digit in the date, including inside the triangle of the 4. This variety (especially in the early state seen here) and the 1846 Newcomb-4 offer the most obvious date repunching in the late date cent series. Called F15 in the Noyes census, his photo #55099. Our grade is F15.
Estimated Value $25-UP.
Ex Bruno Crossfield-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
