Lot 1085
1852 N-1 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Repunched 185. Lustrous mint red faded to light olive and steel on the devices, half the mint red remaining. A couple spots of steel and slightly darker chocolate toning over star 3, a faint planchet lamination at the dentils just over star 11, and a trio of tiny spots at ER in AMERICA are the only marks visible without a strong glass. Great eye appeal. The fields are smooth and very slightly reflective on both sides. EDS, die state a. The repunching under the base of the 1 is strong and delicate repunching shows inside the tops of the 8 & 5 as well. Called MS63 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #30808. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
