Lot 215
1850 N-13 R3+ PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with a couple faint peeps of faded mint color on the obverse. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. The only notable marks are a few tiny ticks on the cheek, a small spot of slightly darker olive brown toning over star 2, and another on the second A in AMERICA. E-MDS, die state b early. The dash left of the 8 is clear, the field outside the wreath is starting to rise around the legend, and a few fine die cracks have formed on the reverse. Our grade is AU55, tied for CC#9 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $300-UP
Ex Tom Reynolds 4/25/2003-Fred Iskra Collection.
