1854 N-18 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty medium steel brown with 15% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. The only marks of any significance are two small digs near the dentils under star 11, but they do not catch your eye. Nicely struck M-LDS, die state c. The die clashmarks are dull but remain visible and the die lines right of E in ONE are gone. A very shallow low spot covers most of the neck into the lower part of the jaw (as struck). Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
