<B>1816<1C> N-1, R.4. AU58 NGC. VF35 EAC.</B></I> This obverse die was used for the first three Newcomb numbers cataloged for 1816, including the Randall Hoard N-2 variety and the scarce N-3 die marriage. Die state data places this variety as the first of these three to be struck, followed by N-3 and finally N-2. An intermediate die state with the obverse rim beginning to crumble over stars 9 and 10. In his Condition Census, Bill Noyes places this example in the sixth spot. This appearance is only the seventh time in the past 25 years that one of the six finest examples has appeared for sale at auction. The Reiver Collection specimen has pleasing golden-brown color, blended with lighter tan and mahogany shades. The surfaces have minor marks as expected for the grade. Among these are a few tiny nicks in the left obverse field.<BR><I>Ex: Joe Levine; George Ramont (8/19/1971).</B></I> Envelope Included.
