Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1824/2 N-1 R1 Overdate 4 over 2. NGC graded EF-45. Attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with a splash of dark chocolate brown toning at the bottom of the reverse. There are a few light contact marks, mostly on the reverse, including a thin scratch that skips from the M in AMERICA to the berries over ONE. MDS. The reverse is cracked through the legend outside the wreath, as always on this variety, but the dash under the U in UNITED is still clear, and crumbling shows in the dentils at stars 3-4. The 4 over 2 overdate feature is obvious to the unaided eye. A nice example of this popular overdate. Our grade is VF35 sharpness net VF30. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Pop 2; 6 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
