624 “1823” Date Altered from 1828 N-11 G4. Slightly sharper but burnished and retoned glossy light steel brown and chocolate with hints of lighter reddish brown in protected areas. Some stains of fine carbon dust show on the portrait. The 8 in the date was carefully altered into a 3 to create the 1823 date. A decent alteration, but it wouldn’t fool an advanced collector. DWH #3387. Estimated Value ............................ $20-UP Ex Jim Corrado, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg’s 2/11/07:910.
