1851 N-1 R3 First 1 Repunched PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Lustrous olive brown and bluish steel with lighter brown and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. The only notable marks are a rather obvious planchet flake in the dentils right of star 13 (as struck) and a spot of fine brownish carbon nestled against the curl over the 85. E-MDS, die state b. The vertical lines at star 4 are strong but the earlier diagonal lines around the date are gone. The repunching at the base of the first 1 is sharp. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 3 finer, 1 in 63, 1 in 64, 1 in 66 for the variety. Estimate Value $300 - UP
