Lot 674
1847 N-24 R1 MS63. Very attractive lustrous light bluish steel and olive with 10% of the mint color remaining. The only notable mark is a small spot of darker toning over the upper right point of star 12. Sharply struck EDS die state a, with myriad die lines covering the obverse fields. Someone forgot to polish the obverse die before placing it into service, but this oversight was corrected for die state b. A very nice example of this interesting die state and it comes with a decent provenance. Tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
