1847 N-37 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy bluish steel and olive with 15% of the red remaining. Must have been close to receiving an "RB" designation. The only notable mark is a light diagonal nick just right of the lips. Nicely struck E-MDS, die state a. The obverse fields are smooth and just starting to display microscopic die flowlines at the dentil tips. (There is no state b for this variety.) Very attractive for the grade and a variety that is difficult to find in mint state. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; none finer for the variety. Estimate Value $750 - UP
