Lot Description

Noyes Die State D/B. Attractively original surfaces exhibit warm golden-brown patina with plenty of vivid mint orange color remaining in the protected areas around the design elements. The strike is somewhat soft around the peripheries, most notably at the obverse stars, but the focal features in the centers are boldly to sharply rendered. Frosty and otherwise smooth during in-hand viewing, a light obverse carbon spot nestled within two points of star 2 serves as a useful identifier for provenance purposes. A significant and desirable example that is tied for CC#3 for the 1833 Newcomb-5 dies in the Noyes census.
