Description

PCGS 1879 AU 50. Possible Overdate. There is evidence of repunching in both the upper and lower portion of the 9 in the date. However, the description in the Breen Encyclopedia states, "Part of the lower right loop of 8 within loop of 9." What we see here is part of what appears to be the lower left loop of an 8 within the 9, but do not seen any trace of an earlier punch in the lower right area. Perhaps this is a typo. in the Encyclopedia, we will leave it to prospective bidders to decide. Otherwise, the surfaces are well struck and bright with much remaining luster still seen around the devices. Trends $315 (2/15).
