Lot 618
1848 N-20 R3-. MS-60. Repunched 48. Attractive frosty medium brown and light chocolate with subtle overtones of light bluish steel and tiny peeps of mint color remaining on the reverse. The only defect worthy of mention is a tiny but fresh nick in the dentils left of star 1. MDS, die state b. The tops of CE are joined by crumbling but the repunching on the 48 remains clear. The obverse fields are smooth and slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die lapping. Tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
