Lot 871
1848 N-24 R4 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown with generous traces of mint color showing on the obverse, 20% on the reverse. The only marks on otherwise choice, satiny surfaces are a tiny nick on the jaw above the throat and a small swipe of dark chocolate "crud" of some sort between stars 6 & 7. This "crud" looks removable, but it's not a big distraction as is. MDS, die state b. The line up to the right from the top of the O in ONE is clear and a strong vertical line has been added inside the N in CENT. Called MS61 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #55102. Our grade is MS62+, close to MS63, and tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
