Lot 875
1848 N-27 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Uniform lustrous medium brown with very subtle hints of bluish steel overtone covering the fields. Great eye appeal. The surfaces are satiny and virtually flawless. A very faint spot of reddish brown toning at the upper right point of star 6 is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. Sharply struck, the stars and devices all perfectly represented. E-MS, die state b. A fine die crack through the top of MER reaches the dentils at both ends, but most of the fine die polishing lines in the obverse fields are still visible. Called MS61 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30457. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
