Lot 414
1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Lustrous light olive and chocolate with faint peeps of very faded mint color peeking through in a few of the protected areas. The only mark is a small spot of darker toning in the field close before the middle of the nose. Great luster and eye appeal. LDS with a cud break from the rim under the 83 reaching up to the base of the 8 but not quite touching the 3. (In the latest state, this cud touches the 3.) Fine die rust covers much of the portrait, especially on the face. Called MS62 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #34489. Our grade is MS62+, close to MS63. A premium example of this late die state. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 67BN.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
