Lot 864
1854 N-14 R2 Repunched 4 MS63. Lustrous medium steel brown with at least 20% of the mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse. Great eye appeal; only a few minor marks from flawless. A small spot of darker toning at the dentil tips left of star 3, a few very light nicks on the rim at star 4, and a speck of dark toning over the upright of the E in ONE are the notable marks. MDS, die state a late. The repunching inside the triangle of the 4 is dull and the die lines over NIT in UNITED are weak but still visible. Tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
