Lot 226
1829 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Choice glossy light chocolate brown with lustrous golden tan in protected areas of the reverse. Excellent eye appeal, especially when you consider the sharp strike, which is extremely rare for the variety. A very light touch of friction on the highest points of the design from mint state. The only marks are a small spot of reddish brown toning high on the neck and a couple tiny ticks on the jawline just above the spot. Sharply struck LDS with all 5 of the "Wheelspoke" die cracks on the reverse, and the final one down through the second T in STATES is clear. Called AU55 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21081. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#3. Our grade is AU55. PCGS Population 3; none finer.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
