Lot 839
1848 N-6 R1 PCGS graded "Genuine." Sharpness near mint state but cleaned and retoned a rather blotchy mix of frosty sea green and medium reddish brown. A faint planchet lamination meanders down through the lower hair curls to the 4 and there is a tiny abrasion in the field off the tip of the nose. This one might benefit from a proper retoning. Scarce LDS, die state e, with a small but clear cud resting on the left top of the M in AMERICA and the section of rim outlined by the MER die crack clearly raised indicating this entire area is a retained cud. Called AU50 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #30563. Our grade is net EF45.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Denis Loring 3/75.
