Lot 741
1848 N-6 R2 AU58. Very close to mint state but there are faint specks of reddish brown toning from an old fingerprint in the field between star 1 and the chin. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate with a tiny wisp of olive brown toning on the cheek. Scarce LDS, die state d. The die crack through MER is strong, the section of die outlined by this crack is shifted outward, and a tiny cud break rests on the left top of the M. Not in the overall condition census for the variety but one of the finest known of the late die state.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
