Lot 623
1841 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty slightly faded mint red changing to chocolate brown on the highpoints, at least half the red remaining on the obverse, 80% on the reverse. There is a small spot of dark toning at the dentils under the 41 and a smaller one at the dentils just below star 9, plus a couple small nicks on the bust tip. The surfaces are lustrous, especially on the reverse which is near gem quality. Nicely struck EDS, die state a. All the stars show full radial lines and the die defects around the date are strong. An attractive example and one of the "reddest" known of the variety. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30972. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
Ex S. M. Koeppel 1938 (one of Ted's earliest purchases).
