Lot 1095
1847 N-24 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Very attractive lustrous light olive and steel brown with delicate overtones of light bluish steel. Traces of mint red show on both sides, especially on the reverse. Great eye appeal, virtually flawless. A small spot of slightly darker chocolate toning at the dentil tips left of star 7 is the best identifying mark. Sharply struck M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #25). A fine die crack connects ME to the dentils on both ends. Our grade is MS62. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 3; none finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
Ex G. Lee Kuntz, Superior 10/6/91:547-Tony Terranova 6/93.
