Lot 434
1847 N-7 R2+ VF30. At least 5 points sharper but there is a nick on the rim at the upper margin of the rim cud from star 2 to star 3 and a fine scratch hidden in the toning from the throat to the hair bun. Otherwise there are only trivial nicks and no roughness. Glossy olive brown and steel with lighter brown toning in some of the protected areas on both sides. Rare LDS, die state e, with a clearly defined rim cud break from star 2 to star 3 in addition to the earlier rim cuds from star 1 to under the adjacent 1 and from star 11 to star 12. All the rim cuds are obvious. Noyes photo #30126. Tied for CC#5 of the die state in the Grellman census. And it comes with a great provenance.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
