Lot 36
1817 N-4 R3. Good-4. Sharpness near F12 but covered with fine to moderate granularity and there are old hairline scratches extending down the portrait. No verdigris. The obverse is a rather glossy dark steel and olive brown while the reverse is a few shades lighter but closer to matte thanks to the fine roughness. The date and legends are clear. Called net AG3 by Noyes, his photo #27278. Extremely rare terminal die state with a raised retained cud break from under star 1 to below the 18. Removed from an NCS slab graded F details but scratched and corroded (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2892.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Fred Borcherdt-Dennis Mendelson, Superior 2/3/91:222-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19705.
