1847 N-4 R3 Repunched 18 NGC graded MS62 Brown. Frosty dark bluish steel and olive brown with generous traces of faded mint red showing on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and the only mark is a spot of fine carbon resting on top of the head below the right point of star 7. Very sharply struck EDS, die state a, which is quite scarce. The die lines are sharp and the reverse die is uncracked. The repunching on the 18 is obvious.
Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#2 among those known in the early die state. Estimated Value $600-UP
