Lot 1235
1853 N-29 R3 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to bluish steel and olive, about a third of the mint color remaining. The only notable marks are a thin streak of darker toning (caused by planchet impurity) from the top of the head to star 8 and a tiny scuff in the field close before the chin. MDS, die state b. The short die lines at the neck are gone and the ones from the dentils at stars 1-2 are dull but visible. 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; 1 finer in 64RB.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
