Lot 436
1854 N-14 R2 Repunched 4 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red mellowing to light steel brown with about half the faded mint color remaining visible on both sides. Choice except for a few small spots of darker toning, including a tiny one in the center of the cheek, a slightly larger one in the field over the head, and a third between star 8 and the dentils. The reverse is flawless except for a very shallow low spot under CENT, as struck. LDS die state b. The repunching inside the triangle of the 4 is dull but still visible and the die lines over NI in UNITED are gone. Our grade is MS62. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $400 - UP
