Lot 613
1853 N-18 R1 PCGS graded MS64+ Brown, CAC approved. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with overtones of light bluish steel. About 5-10% of the original mint red remains on both sides. Would rate a higher grade but there are a few spots of darker toning at the 18 and bottom of the neck, and a couple of these spots show fine carbon. The reverse is choice. MDS, die state b. The dash under the 8 is clear but the die lines in the obverse fields are gone. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only example graded at PCGS.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
