Lot 263
1831 N-12 R1 PCGS graded MS65BN. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Large Letters Reverse. Highly lustrous light bluish steel brown with bluish steel overtones in protected areas on the obverse. Great eye appeal, just a couple trivial marks from flawless. The notable flaws are a dull contact mark on the browlock and a couple faint spots of darker toning on the lower edge of the bust. EDS but not quite the earliest state (although this is the earliest state Ted was able to acquire). There is a fine radial die crack to the dentils from the outer point of star 4 and from the end of the crack right of the date down to the dentils. The obverse fields are hard and very slightly reflective while fine die rust is evident on the reverse (even though this is supposed to be the first marriage for the reverse die, it never looks new with perfectly smooth fields). Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and tied for CC#6, his photo #21790. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 3; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
