Lot 1124
1852 N-16 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown with generous traces of faded mint color showing through in protected areas on the reverse. Nearly flawless surfaces offering outstanding eye appeal. A collection of microscopic planchet chips in the dentils over CA in AMERICA (as struck) offer the best identifying marks. MDS, die state b early. The fine die line found earlier inside the bottom of the E in ONE is gone and the reverse devices are covered with the always present tiny lumps caused by die rust. This reverse die was clearly rusted before being placed into service. Called MS61 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #30709. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
