Lot 400
1835 N-2 R3 VF30. Rotated Reverse. VF-30. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with a trace of frosty very faded red on the left side of the reverse, most likely from a very old cleaning. Smooth surfaces with only a few very light contact marks, including a small nick on the bottom edge of the bust above the 8 and another right of the foot of F in OF. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. E-MDS with the usual die cracks on the reverse and clear repunching on UN, including some inside the bottom of the U. Fine die flowlines cover the fields on both sides, small lumps from die rust show below the U in UNITED, and the reverse is rotated 35 degrees CW. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU55BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2934.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
