Lot Description

Grellman Die State c. The lustrous surfaces glow with rich terra-cotta coloration, contrasted by iridescent steely blue across the high points. Nicely defined and free from any distracting post-Mint blemishes. Comparable in sharpness to the Starr-Halpern specimen offered in our July 2015 Twin Leaf sale, though with even more original red color. Approval by CAC surely makes this piece an irresistible offering for advanced specialists.
