Lot Description

Overton-113. A common die-marriage, the reverse best narrows down attribution by noting that gule 2 has a middle pale extending up through several azure lines. Rich powdery ruby-gold toning graces much of the surface, surrounded by bold turquoise, cobalt-grey and shimmering greys near the rims. Obviously, this choice example was plucked out of an album where it had spent decades of quiet existence. A trio of contact marks poke at Liberty's neck and present the only visible grade factors.
