Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1848 N-40 R3 Repunched 18 EF45+. Sharpness near mint state but recolored glossy reddish chocolate brown and olive with lighter brown toning in some of the protected areas. No roughness and the only marks are a pair of tiny nicks on the rim under the second 8 in the date. Rare LDS, die state c, with a strong rim cud break under the 48, and this cud reaches the base of the dentils under the 4. Not in the overall condition census for the variety but tied for CC#3 honors for those known with the cud break.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
