Lot 264
1847 N-10 R3. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Choice lustrous medium steel brown with at least 20% of the planchet showing mint color. Essentially flawless except for some microscopic specks of darker toning scattered over the obverse. The only notable ones are under the right corner of the eye and at the dentil tips under star 13, and even these two are not distracting. MDS with fine flowlines in the fields but the die lines behind ONE CENT are still clear. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. Previously housed in an NGC slab graded MS65RB (NGC label #558204-006). The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 finer in 66. (PCGS # 37289) Value $1,000 - UP
