Lot 973
1850 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Repunched 1. Frosty light chocolate and steel brown. Satiny mint frost covers the protected areas on both sides, especially on the reverse. No spots or stains, only a few light contact marks, including a vertical nick in the field off the lower edge of the chin. The highest points of the design show a light touch of friction, but the eye appeal is quite nice. LDS, die state g. The die lines and repunching on the obverse have been lapped off the die and die cracks pass through much of the legend on the reverse. Called MS60 and tied for CC#9 in the Noyes census, his photo #55123. Our grade is AU50.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
