Lot 820
1847 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Glossy reddish chocolate brown with traces of faded red showing in protected areas on both sides. A small carbon spot is located in the hair over the T in LIBERTY and two more tiny ones show in the field right of the inner curl. The remainder of the marks are trivial except for a vertical nick left of star 12. M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #16.) The die clashmark at the bottom of the neck is strong but the other clashmarks are gone and the obverse fields are covered with lapping lines from a recent die polishing (most likely done to eliminate the clashmarks). The die lines at the inner curl are gone as well. Our grade is AU58.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
