1853/3 N-4 R3+ Boldly Repunched 3 EF40. Frosty light to medium brown. Very nice eye appeal for the grade, and it would be easy to argue for another 5 points. There are some small struck-through marks or planchet flakes on the upper part of the reverse, as struck, a small dig on the rim over the D in UNITED, and a dull rim nick over the I in AMERICA.
Terminal die state, die state e, with a strong rim cud break at stars 12-13. Tied for CC#2 of the few dozen known with the cud break. Noyes photo #30788. DWH #3344.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
