Lot 1097
1852 N-5 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Frosty light chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers the protected areas. A patch of reddish brown toning near the dentils under star 3 and a spot of steel at the top of the hairbun are the notable marks. Nice eye appeal, but there is a very light touch of friction on the highest points of the design. E-MDS, die state a. The die lines from the dentils under star 13 are clear. Not photographed by Noyes. Our grade is AU55, tied for CC#14 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
