Lot 816
1852 N-12 R1 Repunched 18. NGC graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous tan and light olive with subtle overtones of light bluish steel and peeps of faded mint color remaining on the reverse. There is a small spot of very fine carbon in the hair over the T in LIBERTY and a spot of darker toning between stars 9 & 10. LDS, die state c (Newcomb's #13). The repunching at the 18 is gone and a fine die crack extends from the bust tip through star 1 to the dentils under star 2. The chin is softly struck and a thin planchet void shows on the end of the chin. Our grade is MS60 net AU58+ for the carbon spot. The attribution is noted on the NGC label.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
