Lot 709
1853 N-4 R3+. EF-45. Repunched 3. Choice glossy light to medium chocolate brown. Virtually flawless. A small spot of slightly darker chocolate toning in the field off the chin and a tiny rim nick right of star 7 are the only marks. Nicely struck E-MDS, die state a. The repunching over the 3 is obvious and the tiny die lines over the N in UNITED are still visible. Tied for CC#7.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
