1802 S-237 R3. Fine-15 Plus. Sharpness VF20 but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy medium brown and chocolate with traces of frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas. Smooth surfaces with only minor marks, including a small, shallow planchet void or pit at the top of the E in AMERICA. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor defects, which is evidenced by the grade assigned by NGC. Removed from an NGC slab graded EF40 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). Extremely rare terminal die state, Breen state IX, with a clear rim cud break at STAT. NGC Population 1; 3 finer at NGC for the variety. DWH #2883.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
