Lot 397
1846 N-4 R1 Boldly Repunched Date VF35. Five points sharper but there is a light rim bruise under the 6 in the date and a tiny rim bruise at star 5. Otherwise the surfaces and eye appeal are excellent. Glossy chocolate brown and steel with frost in protected areas on the reverse. Rare LDS, die state d, with a rim cud break under the 18. Tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census for this die state. Removed from an ANACS slab graded AU50 (ANACS label #2365520 included, and it shows the attribution). Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
