Lot 263
1851 N-30 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate with hints of very faded mint color in protected areas on the reverse. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and the eye appeal is excellent. A small spot of carbon on the upright of the E in ONE is the only notable mark, and it is easily missed using a glass. MDS, die state b. The points up from the tops of ENT are still visible but the one down from the jaw is gone. Our grade is AU58+, very close to mint state. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 3 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $250-UP
Ex J. D. Watson 4/20/1998-Fred Iskra Collection.
