Lot 1071
1846 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Boldly Repunched Date. Very attractive lustrous light olive and steel brown with traces of mint color showing on both sides. The obverse fields are smooth and slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die lapping while the reverse is covered with satiny mint frost. The only mark, and it is trivial, is a small spot of slightly darker chocolate brown just left of star 6. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The date repunching is bold and the reverse die is uncracked. All the fine die finishing lines are crisp. A very nice example and it comes with an important provenance. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 2 finer in 64BN.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/86:1033-Dr. Thomas S. Chalkley, Superior 1/28/90:933.
