Description

NGC 1830 MS 64. C Over Horizontal C. V-1, R.5, early die state. Sharpest possible example of Breen's "C Over Horizontal C" in AMERICA, the opening of this letter is blocked by the curve of the first C, plus there is a bold horizontal line across the bottom of that letter. Amazingly, this rare engraving blunder was not noted by Valentine, Neil, or Ahwash in their additions to Valentine's original listing. It now has been assigned its own number in the Breen Complete Encyclopedia, number 2985, and should at last receive the recognition it has long merited. A bit softly struck, both sides are toned in deep shades of cobalt-blue and an almost scarlet shade of red.
