1852 N-21 R4 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Very attractive lustrous medium steel brown and light olive with 5-10% of the mint red remaining on both sides. Looks flawless to the unaided eye but a glass reveals a few contact marks. The notable ones are a dull dent on the chin, a thin scrape or dull nick across the middle of the ear, and a nick o the right side of the second A in AMERICA. Nicely struck E-MDS, die state b early. The die crack from the coronet through star 5 is faint. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety at PCGS.
Estimated Value $1,250-UP.
