Lot 464
1839 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Booby Head. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy reddish chocolate and dark olive. The toning is a bit blotchy which takes away from the eye appeal, but the strike is sharp and there are only a few trivial marks. A spot of slightly darker toning low on the cheek and a nick between the date and star 13 are the only notable marks. EDS with crisp dentils around both sides and fine die finishing lines covering the field around ONE CENT. Seldom found in such an early die state. Our grade is MS60. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
