1846 N-3 R2 Repunched 4 EF40
. Close to EF45 in sharpness
but there are a few too many tiny nicks for the higher grade. A
good identifying mark is a small rim nick off the end of the
wreath ribbon. Attractive glossy medium brown and light choco-
late with a small spot of darker chocolate brown toning under
TE in UNITED. Rare LDS, die state e, with strong rim cud breaks
over TES-OF. Tied for CC#6 honors among those known to
Grellman with these rim cuds. The repunching on the 4 is still
visible. And it comes with a nice provenance.
