Lot Description

Lot 1288 1798 B-28, BB-118 Pointed 9 Close Date Rarity 3.PCGS graded VF-35 PQ.Subset of PCGS # 40018. In a new secure plus holder. Another respectable example from the 1798 emission, and of the most advantageous order for a collector due to its overall choiceness. Its high degree of medium to dark toning rises and falls around and over the highlights. Nicely struck, too, with just a small amount of weakness at the usual Achilles' heel in a vertical band across the centers on both sides (PCGS # 40035) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection.
