Lot 533
1849 N-27 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown and light olive with peeps of faded mint color remaining on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas. No spots or stains, and the only mark is a dull, very light nick on the top of the ear. Sharply struck MDS, die state b. The spike down from the dentils at star 9 is clear. The doubled reverse die (double hubbed similar to the famous 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent) is clearly evident. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#1 honors in the Grellman census. Only two mint state examples are known for this tough die variety. A new discovery found unattributed in a slab.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
