Lot 181
1849 N-5 R3+ PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty bluish steel and olive brown with traces of faded mint red showing on the reverse. No spots or stains. The only notable marks are a line of microscopic pinpricks in the field before the mouth, and it takes a good glass to see them. Sharply struck MDS, die state d late, with a small but strong cud break on the rim at the bottom of the reverse. A very nice example of this tough variety. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
