Lot 679
1844 N-7 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous light olive with 10% of the slightly faded mint color showing on the obverse but just peeps of more heavily mellowed mint color remaining on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and virtually flawless offering outstanding eye appeal. A pinprick close under the left side of the E in CENT is the best identifying mark, but there is a less visible tick on the left base of that E as well. Scarce LDS, die state c, with a strong rim cud break from star 1 nearly reaching star 2. Called MS63 and finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #31111. Our grade is MS63 but tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Steve Fischer-Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz 3/91-J. R. Grellman 7/1/91.
