Lot 1113
1848 N-8 R3- PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty olive and steel with mellowed mint red in the protected areas, especially on the reverse. The toning on the neck is a shade lighter than the rest of the portrait. Satiny mint luster covers the surfaces. The best identifying mark is a faint spot of darker toning touching the bun left of star 10. Sharply struck MDS, die state d, with several fine die cracks on the reverse. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. Tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; None finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Superior 10/6/91:1099 (where misattributed as N-33, which shares the same obverse die).
