Lot 1282
1856 N-14 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Italic 5. Frosty steel brown and light olive with nearly a third of the mint red remaining. A spot of very fine carbon is located between the ribbon tip and adjacent U, and there are some tiny ticks on the front edge of the neck and bust tip. Nice luster and eye appeal, but not nearly as flashy as the preceding lot which was graded the same by PCGS. MDS, die state b, the usual hoard die state. The strike at the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse is slightly weak, as usual. Called MS63 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #31129. Our grade is MS63, tied with many others for CC#13 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
Ex an unidentified 5/18/1916 auction, lot 49-Henry C. Hines-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
