Lot 535
1852 N-12 R1 Repunched 18 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with lighter golden steel and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. No spots or stains, and the only notable mark is a thin diagonal nick over star 10. M-LDS, die state b late. The repunching on the 1 is gone and a die crack reaches from the bust tip to star 1 (Newcomb's old #13). The dentils below the 8 are weak (as are the opposing dentils over ES) thanks to an incipient planchet clip. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Tucker provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 5; 7 finer, 2 in 64, 4 in 66, 1 in 67 for the variety. Estimate Value $275 - UP
