Lot 493
1830 N-6 R4 Small Letters Reverse VG10. Off Center. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with some lighter brown toning in protected areas. Probably lightly cleaned and retoned, but the eye appeal is quite nice. Smooth surfaces showing only a few trivial defects, including a tiny scratch through the 83 in the date and a small spot of reddish crud tucked between the upper left points of star 12. Struck 20% off center to K-1.5. A remarkable mint error on a scarce and popular "Redbook" type. DWH #3299.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Ken Potter 6/9/83-Jim Corrado, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg’s 2/11/07:610.
