Lot 703
1839 N-12 R4 Booby Head VF20. Five points sharper but cleaned and retoned glossy light olive brown and chocolate with overtones of bluish steel. Slightly lighter brown toning shows in protected areas, a result of the earlier cleaning. Otherwise the only defects are a fine scratch hidden in the hair under the Y in LIBERTY and a few trivial nicks on otherwise smooth surfaces. MDS with a clear die crack extending through star 4 to the nose.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
From the Dr. Charles Ruby collection.
