Lot 796
1847 N-28 R3+ PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Repunched 4. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown and light olive, about half the mellowed mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. Only a few microscopic marks from gem. A tiny splash of darker steel toning near the dentils below star 13 and a small spot of dark olive toning hidden in the leaves above the E in ONE are the best identifying marks. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The die lines on the obverse are crisp and the reverse (which was used earlier in the 1846 N-25 marriage) is uncracked. The fine repunching over the right foot of the 4 is clear. Called MS60 and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #31334. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
