Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1807/6 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6 VF25. Sharper by at least 10 points but the obverse fields were burnished and the color is now a very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The only marks are a small planchet flake on the right top of the T in LIBERTY and a small rim dent left of the first S in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state III, with swelling in the field at the lower curls. Struck with the obverse die slightly misaligned to K-4. The overdate is bold. Nice eye appeal in spite of the burnished obverse fields.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
