1833/2 N-4 R4 AU55. Overdate 3 over 2.
1833/2 N-4 R4 AU55. Overdate 3 over 2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with traces of mint red remaining on both sides. Satiny and quite attractive with only a faint hint of rub on the highest points of the design. The only marks are a tiny nick on the neck and two microscopic specks of verdigris near the dentils over the right side of star 6. M-LDS. The repunched 2 or 3 behind and slightly left of the second 3 is clearly visible and die cracks now reach from star 1 through stars 2 & 3 to the dentils at star 4, from star 4 through stars 5-7 to the dentils over the left point of star 8, and from the upper right point of star 4 to the lower point of star 5. The earlier die crack from star 2 to star 3 now branches to the dentils midway between those two stars and the section of die left of star 3 is slightly beveled. In addition, the dentil roots over the right side of star 7 are crumbled together. Outstanding eye appeal for the grade, and the reverse looks fully mint state. Called AU55+ and CC#7 among the confirmed examples in the Bland census. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in Brown, 1 in MS63RB, 1 in MS64 RB. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3154.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
