Lot 1118
1852 N-12 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Repunched 18 & 2. Highly lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with generous traces of mint color remaining on the obverse. Excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a small carbon spot in the field midway between the throat and star 1, a couple more tiny ones at the dentils near star 2, and a spot of dark toning that connects star 13 to the curl above. MDS, die state b. The repunching on the date is gone, the fields are flowlined, and a die crack connects the bust tip to star 1. This is Newcomb's old #13. Called MS63 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #55143. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
