Lot 63
1845 N-6 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous light bluish steel and olive. Very sharply struck and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only notable marks, and they are trivial, are a small nick on the lower edge of the jaw, a tiny tick on the end of the nose, and a dull nick on the left base of the N in ONE. LDS, die state d. The earlier die clashmarks on the obverse have been lapped off the die but the clashmarks right of the E in ONE are still visible. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 64. Estimated Value $500 - UP
