Lot 192
1825 N-1 R4 VF20. VF-20. Sharpness VF35 but the obverse was burnished to remove some marks in the field before the portrait. The work was done with some skill and both sides are nicely retoned a glossy dark chocolate and steel brown. Softly struck at stars 3-5 and in the opposing area at TED-S, but the right sides are sharply impressed. LDS (but not the latest) with a rim cud break that drops down into the field at stars 7.5 to above star 9, and that cud is strong on this example. Removed from an NCS slab graded EF details burnished (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2913.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex George Ramont-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19838.
