Lot Description

Also from the Doug Noblet Collection.  Doug could not resist the opportunity to own a pair of magnificent overdates.  This well struck example has similar toning to the last lot, a bit lighter perhaps, the luster not quite as bold.  The surfaces display virtually no contact marks.  Our posterity may refer to this die pair (as well as the 1818/7 O.103) as an 1818/7/3.  Be sure to read Jim Ross’ convincing analysis in the Nov. 2018 edition of the John Reich Journal, vol. 28, issue 3, p. 12.    Est. $2,500 to $3,500.
