Lot 836
1848 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty light chocolate and steel brown with hints of underlying very faded mint color peeking through in a few of the protected areas, mostly on the reverse. There is a hint of friction on the highest points and a few light contact marks, including a nick on the lower edge of the bust above the tip of the curl. Nicely struck EDS, die state a, before any die cracks on the reverse. Our grade is AU50, tied for CC#11 overall but finest of the early state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Henry C. Hines-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
