LOT 527 1844/81 N-2 R2 44 over Inverted 18 VF30. Ten points sharper but there are some small nicks on the obverse and traces of shallow verdigris in protected areas at the bottom of the wreath. Otherwise nice with smooth surfaces and sharp details. Glossy light to medium brown with some darker chocolate on the reverse. EDS. The overdate feature is strong. Ex William C. Noyes-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection

TERMINAL STATE 1847 N-18

LOT 528 1847/47 N-18 R5 Large 7 over Medium 7 F12. Significantly sharper but there are a few notable contact marks including a sharp nick on the jaw, a small rim dent at star 12, and a strong nick on the E in CENT. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the toning is glossy chocolate and steel. Terminal die state, state d, with strong rim cud break from the date to star 2 and from star 4 to star 5. The cud breaks are clearly defined and the so-called “Large 7 over Medium 7” feature is clear (actually just a repunched 47).  Ex Herb Brunhofer-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection
