Lot 606
1840 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Small Date. Light chocolate and bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and highly lustrous. The only mark is a fresh finger smudge at star 7, possibly caused as it was being inserted into the slab ring. This mark could be removed quite easily using a jeweler's brush to smooth out the surface gloss. Sharply struck LDS, die state c, without the tiny die defects under the date that are present in the earlier die states. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30920. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
