1845 N-12 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Glossy light olive and medium brown with traces of mint red remaining on the obverse, 15% of the red showing on the reverse. Frosty luster covers the fields on both sides. The only mark visible without the aid of a good glass is some darker toning at the berry over the N in ONE. A glass reveals a light scuff at BE in LIBERTY into the hair below plus a very thin nick on the throat. M-LDS, die state c, with a thin but clearly defined rim cud break extending from the upper part of star 3 to just below the bottom of star 4. Called MS61 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #31566. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
