Lot 98
1847 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive lustrous mint red fading to steel and light olive brown. Half the original mint color remains, mostly on the obverse. Held back from a higher grade by some small spots on the lower obverse, the largest of these just right of the date. The reverse is flawless. E-MDS, die state b. The fine repunching left of the base of the 4 is gone but the die line down from the dentils over the right edge of star 6 remains sharp. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#1 honors in the Grellman census. Noyes photo #30016. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 3 finer in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
