1848 N-9 R1 PCGS graded AU58. Very attractive glossy steel and light chocolate brown with cartwheel luster in the fields and protected areas. Faint peeps of faded mint color can be found in some of the protected areas on the reverse. The notable marks are a splash of dark olive toning at the bottom of the 48 and a wisp of reddish chocolate toning off the tip of the coronet. Rare LDS, die state f, with clearly defined rim cud breaks at D-ST and ATE. Our grade is EF45+, close to AU50.
