Lot 754
1847 N-3 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Repunched Date. Frosty bluish steel and olive with slightly faded mint color covering a third of both sides. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous offering outstanding eye appeal. A small spot of darker toning near the dentils over star 11 and a very dull nick on the eyebrow are the only marks of any significance. LDS, die state e, with three small but clear rim cud breaks on the reverse (Newcomb's old #33). The date repunching is gone except for traces inside the top of the 8. Called MS64 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31385. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#2 over all but finest of the die state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
