Lot 77
1846 N-10 R4 Small Date PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved. Frosty medium steel brown and chocolate with a couple tiny peeps of very faded mint color showing at the date. Sharply struck and attractive, but the surfaces are a bit dull from a layer of natural oxidation. The notable marks are a thin diagonal nick on the chin and a few light contact marks in the fields on either side of the portrait, none visible to the unaided eye. EDS, die state a. All the fine die lines of the early state are present. Our grade is AU50+, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census for this tough die variety. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $300-UP
