Lot 506
1838 N-1 R1 MS60. MS-60. The obverse is lustrous light steel brown with bluish steel overtones covering the protected areas. The reverse is equally lustrous but displays a darker shade of chocolate with bluish steel overtones. The obverse is flawless but the reverse shows some very faint hairlines in the fields and traces of an old fingerprint on the left side, mostly at TED-ST. Terminal die state with many small but clear rim cud breaks that nearly encircle the obverse. Strong rim cuds also show on the reverse at ES-OF half way to the adjacent A. Heavy die lapping on the reverse has completely eliminated the right top of the U in UNITED, but most of the repunching on the right side of the I in UNITED remains visible. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2954.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Del Bland 7/26/69-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:20094.
