Lot 372
1839/6 N-1 R3 Overdate 9 over 6. PCGS graded VF-30. Glossy dark steel brown and olive with lighter brown toning in protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a nick on the throat and a thin planchet fissure below the date (looks like a fine die crack but it is not). MDS with a very light die crack (more like a wave) from the dentils through star 4 to the nose. The date is bold and the overdate feature is sharp. Graded F12 by Noyes, his photo #31874. Our grade is F15+, close to VF20. A decent example of this very popular "Redbook" variety. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 5; 10 finer. (PCGS # 37261) Value $3,000 - UP
