Lot 229
1811/10 S-286 R3 Turban Head Overdate 11 over 10 VF20. Sharpness VF35 but lightly burnished, strongest on the obverse. There are no traces of roughness and the reason for smoothing the surfaces is unknown. A tiny rim nick above star 7 is the only notable mark, and it is trivial. Very nicely recolored glossy medium chocolate brown fading to darker chocolate in protected areas. MDS, Breen state II, showing die clashmarks on the reverse. The overdate is obvious to the unaided eye. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU Details Burnished (NGC label #3743189-012 included, and it shows the variety attribution).
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Stack's Bowers 10/2014:3311-William R. Eckberg.
