Lot 676
1847 N-26 R5 VF20. At least ten points sharper but recolored frosty medium brown and light chocolate with peeps of faded red in a few of the protected areas. There is some fine roughness in the field from star 3 to star 8 but no verdigris. The only notable sign of contact is a rim bruise at star 11. Rare LDS, die state d, with a strong rim cud break over OF-A, and the right end of this cud slants up to the left. Tied for CC#4 among those known with this rim cud in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
