Lot 72
1846 N-11 R1 Medium Date MS62+. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with nearly 20% of the mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal, close to MS63. The only marks are a small splash of darker olive toning at the 84 and faint traces of an old fingerprint between stars 8 & 9. Nicely struck EDS, die state a. The fine die lines from the dentils under the date are clear and all the stars show radial lines. Tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. Now housed in a PCGS MS64+ BN holder. (PCGS # 403883).
Estimated Value $600-UP.
Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 9/14/2003:911, The Northwest Collection.
