Lot 125
1820/19 N-1 R1 VF35+. Large Overdate 20 over 19. VF-35+. Sharpness EF40 with a few too many light contact marks in the field before the portrait for the higher grade. A thin horizontal nick under the right side of star 4 and a small spot of darker olive toning below star 6 are the best identifying marks. Glossy light to medium brown with small splashes of darker steel toning on both sides and frosty mint luster showing in protected areas. LDS. Die lapping has removed all traces of the 9 under the 0 in the date, but the 1 under the 2 is still clear. The repunching on the 18 is gone and the reverse is rotated 25 degrees CCW. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU55BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2906.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex George Ramont 8/3/72-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19781.
