Lot 860
1850 N-22 R3+. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with traces of reddish steel brown faded down from mint color in protected areas. Just a few trivial marks from choice, including a couple tiny ticks in the field right of star 2 and a speck of carbon on the bottom of the R in AMERICA. MDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils under star 1 are gone and fresh die lapping lines cover the field inside the wreath. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. Very nice for the grade. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer. The only Brown example graded by PCGS for the variety. (PCGS # 405913) .
Estimated Value $500-UP.
