Lot 760
1847 N-5 R3+ PCGS graded "Genuine." Repunched 847. Glossy light chocolate brown with lighter brown toning in protected areas of the obverse, possibly from a light cleaning long ago. Frosty flowline luster shows in protected areas and the eye appeal is quite nice. The notable marks are a pair of tiny spots of dark toning at the top of star 7 and a microscopic planchet chip in the hair over the E in LIBERTY, as struck. LDS, die state b, with a light die crack down through the second S in STATES and the wreath to RIC extending to the dentils over that C. The repunching on the 847 is visible, clearest on the 4. Called MS60 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census (which contains only 3 with mint state grades), his photo #31203. Our grade is net AU58, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Judge Joseph Sawicki, Stack's 2/27/54:704.
