Lot 1054
1843 N-3 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous chocolate brown with traces of faded mint color remaining on the reverse. A faint splash of slightly darker chocolate toning covers the field under star 5 and a small spot of dark toning is located on the rim under the end of the wreath ribbon. The surfaces are satiny and offer excellent eye appeal. M-LDS, die state b late. The die lines over ER in AMERICA are dull but some remain visible. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. and it comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
