Lot 1111
1852 N-8 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light greenish olive brown with frosty sea green overtones. Peeps of underlying faded mint color can be found on the obverse. Essentially this is a "greenie." The notable marks are shallow planchet flakes on the rim under the date and left of star 5, plus a distracting carbon spot on the left side of the E in ONE. LDS, die state d, with the final die crack passing through the D in UNITED into the wreath. Called MS65 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #55142. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#29 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
