Lot 1244
1855 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel and olive with mint color covering the protected areas on the obverse and traces of faded mint red peeking through on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is quite nice. Just a few trivial marks, including a half dozen specks of darker toning around star 13 and a diagonal streak of lighter toning behind the N in ONE. Rare LDS, die state f late. In addition to the 4 rim cud breaks over STATES there is a clear die crack on the rim at OF that outlines where the terminal rim cud break is forming. The 4 cud breaks are strong. Not graded by Noyes, his photo #31477. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 of those with the 4 rim cud breaks in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
