Lot 388
1837 N-10 R1 PCGS graded MS66RB. PCGS graded MS-66 Red & Brown. Beaded Hair Cord, Head of 1838. "Accessory N" variety. Lustrous original mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints, two-thirds of the mint color remaining on both sides. Nearly perfect, a tiny tick just above the nostril and a couple small spots of darker brown toning close before the lips being the best identifying marks, and they are certainly trivial. LDS with rim cud breaks from under star 13 clockwise to the left edge of star 1 with a void in the cud below the 18 and another under star 1. Called MS65+ and tied for CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#2, his photo #21471. Our grade is MS65. PCGS Population 2; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
