Lot 55
1807/6 S-272 R4+ Overdate Small 7 over 6 PCGS graded VF20. Glossy chocolate and olive brown with slightly lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints. No roughness or verdigris, just light contact marks scattered over both sides. The only notable mark is a dull diagonal scratch in the field over the center of the bust, but it is short and nearly invisible to the unaided eye. Sharply struck MDS, Breen state II, with faint die clashmarks under the hair ribbon. The date is bold and the "Small 7 over 6" feature is obvious to the unaided eye. A nice example of this rare and very popular "Redbook" variety. Graded F12 net VG10 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census his photo #28430. Our grade is VG10 as well. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer in 55 for the variety. Estimate Value $10,000 - UP
