Lot 889
1855 N-9 R1 Italic 55, Knob-on-Ear. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. CAC Approved. Very attractive uniform lustrous steel brown with underlying faded mint red covering at least 15% of the planchet. Essentially a flawless example of this popular "Redbook" variety. No spots or stains, and the only mark is a dull, very light nick on the rim over the C in AMERICA. M-LDS, die state f. The "Knob" break under the T in LIBERTY is bold and the segment under the adjacent Y is rising. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#3. And the strong "Knob" break on this piece is a big plus. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 66. (PCGS # 403958) .
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
