Lot 980
1850 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous original mint red fading to steel brown and light olive on the devices, nearly half the original color showing, mostly on the reverse. Outstanding eye appeal, virtually flawless. A tiny tick on the nose off the end of the eyelash, a tiny diagonal planchet chip right of the nostril, and a microscopic speck of dark toning off the tip of the bust are the best identifying marks, and they are barely visible with a good glass. LDS, die state c. A die crack passes through the top of UNITE and extends to the dentils at both ends. Called MS64 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30523. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
