Lot 302
1834 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Large 8, Small Stars, Medium Letters. Gorgeous and highly lustrous light chocolate brown with delicate overtones of light bluish steel covering the fields. Bright original mint red covers the protected areas on both sides. Essentially a flawless gem. A small spot of greenish crud at the left top of the N in UNITED is the best identifying mark, at least while the cent stays in this slab since the crud appears removable. MDS with a clear die crack through stars 12 & 13 to the dentils at either end, and the reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW. A strong double profile extends from the forelock down to the chin (caused by die bounce). Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #28847. Bland says MS62 and CC#5. Our grade is MS64. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
