Lot 824
1849 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Choice glossy light to medium chocolate brown. Frosty mint luster covers the fields and protected areas. Nearly flawless; a tiny planchet flake high on the neck and a pinprick just right of the 9 in the date are the best identifying marks, and they are trivial. Just a hint of friction on the highest points. Sharply struck EDS die state a. The die lines from the tops of UN are crisp. Our grade is AU55. (The PCGS label shows this is the Newcomb-9 die variety, which is incorrect.).
Estimated Value $400-UP.
