Lot 859
1854 N-7 R2 Repunched 1 & 4 AU58. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with underlying faded mint color bleeding through in the fields and protected areas on both sides. No spot or stains and essentially no wear at all. However there is a low spot covering the lower half of the portrait (caused by debris on the die, which is quite common on this variety for some reason), and the low spot dulls the details in the affected areas. The only marks are a few nicks on the rim at stars 11-12 and under the date, plus a small planchet chip in the field between star 11 and the hair bun (as struck). LDS, die state b. The repunching on the 1 & 4 is dull and barely visible.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
