1847 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy light olive and steel with underlying frosty luster in the fields and protected areas. A small spot of reddish chocolate brown toning left of star 6 and a less-visible one resting on the L in LIBERTY are the best identifying marks. MDS, die state c early (Newcomb's old #16 early). Die clashmarks show at the throat and chin as well as at the base of the neck, and a few remnants of the die lines at the inner curl remain visible. The dull waves sometimes found on the reverse at D and STAT are not present. Called MS60 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, his photo #55096. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#18 in the Grellman census.
