Lot 925
1849 N-8 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Repunched 9, the so-called 9 over 8 Overdate. Glossy olive and bluish steel with nearly a third of the mint color showing, mostly on the obverse. Excellent luster and eye appeal. A collection of microscopic specks of dark toning on the face and a few more around star 1 are the only marks, and they are barely visible under magnification. M-LDS, die state c. The repunching at the right bottom of the 9 is very faint, nearly gone, and only a few of the die lines left of stars 2 & 3 remain visible. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30481. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
