1854 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Stray 4 in Curls. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with somewhat lighter toning in protected areas. Nicely struck and attractive. A struck-through line (caused by a short piece of wire or thread on the die) is located just left of star 10, and a faint spot of reddish brown toning shows under star 6. E-MDS, die state a. A fine diagonal die line reaches from the dentils through star 6 to the hair. The stray 4 nestled in the curls over the left top of the 5 is sharp (shows portions of the crossbar and upright of the 4). Called MS62 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30770. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.
