Lot 220
1829 N-4 R4 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Attractive lustrous light bluish steel brown and chocolate with slightly faded mint red showing in protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are frosty and quite attractive with only a few trivial marks. A couple tiny specks of dark toning tucked against the right edge of the hair bun, microscopic traces of greenish crud around TY in LIBERTY, and a small spot tucked between the upper left points of star 5 are the only notable marks, and they are not at all distracting. Choice except for the usual flat strike showing weakness on the lower stars, hair along the top of the head, curl over the 9 in the date, and some of the leaves in the wreath. LDS. The die crack through R in AMERICA is strong and the small rim cud breaks at stars 3-5 are clear. Called MS62 choice and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21126. Bland says MS60 and CC#1 among the confirmed examples. Our grade is MS60+. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $6,000-UP.
