1837 1C Plain Cords, Medium Letters, N-13, R.2 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Our EAC Grade XF40. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green.

The present well-defined example displays faint hairlines on the left obverse and has been recolored, but the reverse margin has attractively retoned forest-green. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R.
