1852 N-22 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous chocolate brown with subtle overtones of frosty light bluish steel in the fields are protected areas. Excellent eye appeal, just a few tiny ticks above and below star 2 and a small planchet chip on the upper point of star 7, as struck. Scarce EDS, die state a, without the tiny lump under the Y in LIBERTY and both dies uncracked. All the fine die finishing lines on the obverse are clear. Called MS63 and CC#8 overall but finest of the early state in the Noyes census, his photo #30995. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#18 overall but finest of the early state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Bowers & Merena 6/10/91:716-Bob Grellman 7/91.
