Lot 403
1850 N-14 R4 MS60+. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate with wisps of reddish olive toning on the obverse and traces of faded mint color remaining on the reverse. There are a couple microscopic planchet chips in the field under star 7 and another one on that star, all as struck. EDS, die state a, a rare die state with clear die lines at the throat and over ICA. The fields are hard and smooth, which is quite unusual for this variety. Tied for CC#3 overall but finest of the early die state. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #3000.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Anderson Dupont, Stack’s 9/24/54:937-Robert S. Carter-Del Bland 5/27/70-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:20435.
