Lot 882
1855 N-10 R1 Italic 5's. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown PLUS. CAC Approved. Choice lustrous light olive brown and steel with traces of faded mint red remaining on both sides. No spots or stains and only a couple trivial contact marks. A thin nick-like vertical planchet void just right of star 2 is the best identifying mark. Sharply struck EDS+, die state b, with star 6 essentially missing due to a clog in the die. A very nice example of this popular die state. Our grade is MS63. Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
