Lot 116
1846 N-1 R1 Repunched 18 MS62+. Mint red toning to steel brown on the highpoints about half the original red remaining. Would rate a higher grade if not for traces of an old fingerprint in the field off the chin. E-MDS, die state b. Lightly cracked through the date, stars, and reverse legend. The cracks are stronger than those seen on the preceding example and the fields are satiny rather than reflective. The repunching on the 18 is sharp. Outstanding eye appeal for the grade, very close to MS63. Tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. DWH #2043.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
