Lot 838
1846 N-7 R3. NGC graded MS-65 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with 10% of the mint red showing on the obverse, 20% on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal, but there are a few marks. These include a speck of carbon nestled between the right points of star 7 and a collection of tiny ticks hidden in the field just right of the E in ONE. Nicely struck MDS, die state b. The reverse die remains uncracked but die lines have been added from the dentils to ES in STATES. The top of the stray 1 at the dentils under the right side of the 8 is visible. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Population 1; none finer at NGC. The only example graded by NGC for the variety.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
