 RARE 1817 N-7 WITHOUT MOUSE

yes LOT 280 1817 N-7 R7 (as a die state) G4 . Slightly glossy light olive and steel on the devices and darker olive brown in the protected areas. Struck slightly off center to K-5 resulting in an uneven strike, especially at the upper right of the reverse. The details where properly struck are at least VG10 on the lower left part of the reverse, but other areas are weak, less than G4. Covered with microscopic granularity that dulls the surfaces. No verdigris, just a few old, light scratches over the N in ONE. EDS, Grellman state a, without the usually seen “Mouse” break on top of the head. Less than 10 are known without the mouse, and the finest of those grades net F12. Comes with a nice provenance.
