Lot 5
1816 N-3 R4 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous steel brown faded down from mint red with at least 10% of the faded mint color remaining on both sides. Great eye appeal, but a glass reveals a few microscopic contact marks scattered over the fields including a thin horizontal nick under star 7. MDS. Called MS61 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21064. Bland says MS60+ and CC#2 as well. This is the other mint state example known of the die variety. Our grade is MS60+. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
