Lot 594

"1799" S-173 of 1798 with date altered to 1799 VG7. Slightly sharper with a rim dent left of the lower curls. Glossy chocolate and olive brown. The engraving was done with decent skill, but the alteration is still obvious. The host S-173 is from a later die state and shows a clear cud break at the tops of RTY. Another big mistake if you want to fool someone who is reasonably familiar with the series. DWH #3061.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Lester Merkin 9/89-John D. Wright 1/18/06-Bob Grellman & Chris McCawley 4/3/06.


 
Realized $265
