Lot 53
1845 N-1 R4 PCGS graded AU58. Glossy medium to dark chocolate brown and steel. No spots or stains, but there are some tiny contact marks on the obverse. The notable ones are a collection of microscopic ticks between stars 1 & 2 and two nearly horizontal nicks on the jaw at the throat. LDS, die state b. The fields are slightly reflective on both sides and the tiny die lines from the dentils at star 1 have been polished off the die. A variety that is difficult to find in high grade. Our grade is EF45+, close to AU50, and tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 1 finer in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $250-UP
Ex Tom Reynolds 6/10/2003-Fred Iskra Collection.
