Lot 821
1847 N-39 R3 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty bluish steel brown with faded mint red showing through in the protected areas. No spots or stains and only a couple trivial contact marks. The only distraction is a shallow low spot in the field over the bust tip, and this defect was caused by debris on the die. Sharply struck except for the stars as only half of them show their radial lines. EDS, die state a, with very fine diagonal die polishing lines slanting down through the O in ONE. Called MS60 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #31770. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
