Lot 854
1848 N-13 R4 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown with peeps of faded mint color showing on the obverse. Excellent eye appeal, and the only notable mark is an easily overlooked dull nick between the stem end and the adjacent A. This is a beautiful cent and is a die variety rarely seen in top condition, but the grade assigned by PCGS seems optimistic. MDS, die state a, before the rim cud forms over TES in STATES. Called MS61 and CC#1 as the only mint state example in the Noyes census, his photo #30613. Our grade is MS62, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
Ex Sheldon Freed-J. R. (Bob) Grellman 4/26/91.
