Lot 1121
1852 N-15 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Frosty olive and bluish steel brown with faded mint color covering 15% of the planchet, mostly on the obverse. A speck of carbon under the left side of the 8, another resting on top of the coronet under star 6, and a third at the lower point of star 2, plus a collection of microscopic ticks along the dentil tips from the 2 to star 13 are the only marks. The surfaces are lustrous and offer outstanding eye appeal. Rare E-MDS, die state a. Fine but clear die lines show between the feet of the N in ONE. In addition, there are shallow but clearly defined rim cud breaks over stars 5 & 6. These rim cuds are difficult to see in the slab, but they remain visible. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30659. Our grade is MS63, CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
