Lot 246
1851 N-14 R2 First 1 Repunched PCGS graded MS62 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty light to medium chocolate brown and steel. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and the eye appeal is excellent. No spots or stains, only a few microscopic contact marks. A tiny dig nestled between the L & I in LIBERTY is the best identifying mark. Rare EDS, die state a. The die line at the throat is visible and repunching shows under the peak and base of the first 1. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#13 overall for the variety but tied for finest of the early die state in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 4 finer, 2 in 63, 1 in 64, 1 in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $200-UP
