Lot 412
1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS67BN. PCGS graded MS-67 Brown. Frosty, highly attractive uniform steel brown faded down from mint color with very faded red bleeding through in the fields on both sides. Essentially perfect, although when turned just right in the light you can find faint hints of an old fingerprint on the jawline. E-MDS with the die crack from above star 9 to the hairbun stronger and extending down through the hair to the 83 in the date where it disappears. Not an especially rare die state for the variety; the fantastic eye appeal is what makes this one special. Called MS62 and tied for CC#7 in one place in the Noyes census, MS65 in another, his photo #21339. Our grade is MS65 choice. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
