Lot 971
1850 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Repunched 1. Lustrous chocolate and steel with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and offer excellent eye appeal. A pinprick between the 8 and 5 and a small carbon spot between the I and B in LIBERTY are the notable defects. E-MDS, die state b. Both sides show clashmarks but there are no die cracks on the reverse. Strong die finishing lines cover much of the obverse fields with other even stronger ones inside the wreath, and repunching is clearly visible on the 1. Called MS61 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #30575. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
