Lot 99
1846 N-15 R4 NGC graded MS63 Brown. Very attractive frosty steel brown and light chocolate with underlying very faded mint red peeking through in protected areas on the reverse. There are a few small contact marks scattered over the obverse while the reverse is choice. The notable marks are a dull nick on the coronet over the B in LIBERTY and a thin horizontal nick on the ear right of the ear hole. In addition there are a couple tiny, shallow planchet flakes right of the lower lip, as struck. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state b early. The die cracks on both sides are very light and the obverse fields still display the microscopic die polishing lines of the earliest state. Our grade is AU55 sharpness net AU50. Tied for CC#8 honors in the Grellman census. Estimate Value $400 - UP
