Lot 1052
1842 N-9 R2 Large Date NGC graded MS63 Brown. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate. Satiny and quite attractive displaying crisp details throughout. The luster is very slightly subdued by natural oxidation, which probably keeps this piece from a slightly higher slab grade. A tiny swipe of reddish chocolate toning left of star 9 and a couple small streaks of dark steel toning off the end of the wreath stem are the only notable marks, and they are insignificant. MDS, die state b early. The tiny point down from the left foot of the N in ONE is clear. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Pop 1; 3 in 64; 1 in 65 for the variety at NGC in Brown.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
