1853 N-28 R4- MS63. Lustrous mint red fading to steel and olive brown on the highpoints, half the mint color remaining. Very attractive, nearly flawless. There are a couple light marks on the cheek and a small splash of chocolate brown toning connecting the O & N in ONE. In addition there are very faint hints of an old fingerprint in the field behind the main curl and another at the bottom of the reverse. E-MDS, die state a late. The die lines from the dentils at stars 2-6 are dull but most remain visible. The fine repunching on the 1 is visible as well. Tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
