Lot Description

Bolender-7, BB-156 (R.4). The B-7 die marriage has variously been assigned an R.3 to R.4 rating, and to compound the excellent rarity of the present example, the cataloger believes it may be "die state I", the prime state with no evidence of clashed dies. A tiny die crack between "TA" of STATES appears to just be starting to develop; its presence identifies later die-states. this is a slate-grey example overall, slightly mottled with traces of additional graphite toning.
