Lot Description

Noyes Die State B/B. Radiant golden luster glows across this beautiful Choice Mint State example, illuminating the burnt-orange and steel blue patina that dusts the surfaces. The fields are incredibly smooth under inspection, failing to reveal any abrasions of note. The softness to the upper stars is typical of these dies, though the devices are otherwise sharp. A speck of dark patina in the denticles outside the letter U in UNITED will serve as a convenient means of tracing this piece through future cabinets. Well produced and nicely preserved overall.
