Lot 142
1823 Private Restrike EF45. EF-45. Glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with a couple spots of lighter toning above the head thanks to traces of glue or lacquer in that area. No marks or other distractions, but this piece probably would benefit from removal of the coating. Rare early die state without any die cracks and the cud break over star 7 is not fully formed. Certainly one of the original 49 pieces struck in 1862 for Joseph Mickley. Noyes photo #55064. PCGS Population 1; 9 finer, 2 in 64BN, 3 in 65BN, 4 in 66BN.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
