Lot 1091
1852 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous dark bluish steel and olive brown with faded mint red covering 5% of the obverse and 25% of the reverse. Excellent eye appeal and only a few minor marks. These include a tiny diagonal nick left of the earlobe with a small spot of darker toning just above the nick and a couple small spots of dark toning at ON in ONE. Rare EDS, die state a. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective and both sides are uncracked. Called MS64 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30706. Our grade is MS63, CC#4 overall but finest of the early state in the Grellman census. In fact, this is the only mint state example known struck from the early state of the dies.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
