Lot 65
1843 N-12 R2 EF45+. Sharpness very close to mint state with only a hint of friction on the highest points of the design, but there are several light rim bruises on both sides, the notable ones at stars 2, 3, 12, and at ME in AMERICA. Frosty steel brown and chocolate with a couple tiny wisps of darker olive toning on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas, and there are only a few light contact marks other than the aforementioned rim disturbances. LDS, die state e. Rim cud breaks show clearly over NIT in UNITED and from that U to below the ribbon tip. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS63BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2966.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
