Lot 1197
1851 N-19 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Second 1 Repunched. Highly lustrous steel brown and chocolate with 15% of the mint color remaining. Great eye appeal. The only marks are a vertical nick on the cheek right of the nostril and a small nick on the rim right of star 12. E-MDS, die state c early. The repunching on the second 1 and the diagonal die lines in the field around the date are still visible. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance, and the attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 3; none finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
