Lot 1302
1857 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Small Date. Frosty slightly mellowed mint red faded to dark bluish steel and olive on the highpoints, at least 50% of the mint color remaining. Great eye appeal with lustrous surfaces and only a few minor marks. These include a speck of dark toning in the dentils at star 12, another between the top of the 1 and the bust above, and a tiny nick over the left top of the N in ONE. The tip of the coronet over LIB is softly struck, as usual. Scarce E-MDS, die state a. The die line from the lower left point of star 1 to the dentils at the left is dull but visible and the dies are unclashed. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31518. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
