Lot 1115
1852 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red, the reverse blazing and the obverse slightly faded so only 75% of the red remains on that side as it slowly shifts to steel brown on the highpoints. Great eye appeal and only a few trivial marks. These include a few small spots around star 12 and a collection of tiny ticks at the top of the second A in AMERICA. MDS, die state d. The short spur from the dentils over the U in UNITED is faint, virtually gone, but the crack and rim cud at the top of the reverse have not formed. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30803. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
