Lot 71
1817 N-17 R4 G6. Good-6. Sharpness VG10 with light to moderate roughness, strongest on the left half of each side. No verdigris but there are a few contact marks, including a small but obvious dig at the right bottom of the O in ONE. Slightly glossy dark steel brown with some lighter chocolate toning in protected areas. Terminal die state with a raised cud break connecting the top of TATE to the rim above. The right end of this cud is raised higher than the left suggesting that section of the die was still hanging on for dear life, although a lack of sufficient planchet metal to fill the void is another possibility. DWH #3125.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Jack Robinson (traded for a 21N1 with the obverse die crack) 1/85-John D. Wright 1/18/06-Bob Grellman & Chris McCawley 4/3/06.
