Lot 838
1848 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous slightly mellowed mint red fading to bluish steel and light olive on the devices, about a third of the mellowed mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. Great eye appeal, nearly gem except for a spot of very fine carbon off the upper left point of star 11. Otherwise the only marks are trivial. Nicely struck showing full radial lines in all the stars and sharp devices throughout. M-LDS, die state d. The die crack through the top of MER is very strong and the section of the rim outlined by this crack has shifted outward slightly. Called MS61 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30468. Our grade is MS62+, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
