Lot 455
1836 N-6 R2 EF40+. Gobrecht Head. EF-40+. Attractive glossy medium brown. Sharply struck and quite nice for the grade, close to EF45. The best identifying marks are a thin nick over the F in OF and a pair of microscopic pinpricks right of the first A in AMERICA. E-MDS. The nearly always present cud break over star 8 is clear and there is a single radial die crack on the reverse, the one from the wreath down through the ribbon tip to the dentils below. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2944.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
