Lot 657
1843 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Mature Head. Frosty bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint color in protected areas on the obverse and overtones of sea-green on the reverse. Both sides are lustrous and the only defect worthy of mention is a thin planchet lamination from the bottom of the D in UNITED to the base of the O in ONE, as struck. Very sharply struck MDS, die state b. The die lines over MER are blurry but clear, but the tiny rim cud break at star 5 has not formed. All the stars show strong radial lines and the devices are fully impressed on both sides. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31527. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
