Lot 1067
1845 N-12 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel and olive with 15% of the slightly faded mint color showing. The only defect, and it is barely visible, is a very tiny speck of dark crud over the left side of the 8. A good identifying mark is a shallow low spot or planchet flake at the dentil tips under star 1, as struck. E-MDS, die state b, showing a faint die crack through the tops of ST in STATES but before the rim cud at stars 3-4. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Tom Reynolds 9/96.
