Lot 101
1847 N-26 R3 VG10. Sharpness VF25 or better but the obverse is covered with microscopic porosity. No marks or verdigris. Chocolate brown, and the surfaces are mostly glossy in spite of the porosity. Extremely rare terminal die state, state g, with two small rim cud breaks at ES and a larger one at OF-A. The cuds are clearly defined on this example. Tied for CC#4 of only 8 known in this die state, and the cud breaks over ES on several of those are poorly defined. Removed from a PCGS slab graded "Genuine" (PCGS label included, and it shows the attribution and mentions the "Reverse Rim Cuds").
Estimated Value $25-UP.
