Lot 855
1852 N-10 R2+ PCGS graded MS65 Red. Lustrous bright original mint red just starting to mellow on the highpoints, at least 95% of the bright mint color remaining. No spots or stains, essentially as struck. The only marks, and they are microscopic, are a pair of tiny ticks on the truncation over the 8, a thin horizontal nick on the rim under star 13, and a very thin nick on the rim under the end of the wreath ribbon. Sharply struck EDS but not quite the earliest, die state a. The short die lines from the dentils at stars 1-2 are visible and there is a fine line slanting through UNI. Our grade is MS65. Finest known for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
