Lot 482
1800 NC-4 R7- PCGS Genuine, AG details, Rim Ding. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Smooth and attractive for the grade, just heavily worn. The only marks are a dull rim bruise at the cud break left of the L in LIBERTY and a sharp rim nick at the opposing IT in UNITED. The date is full and easily readable although the bottom of the second 0 is starting to fade, and a significant portion of the legend outside the wreath is worn into the rim. MDS, Breen state II, with two distinct and relatively large cud breaks behind the portrait. Graded AG3 and tied for CC#5 in the Bland census. Noyes says G5 net AG3 and tied for CC#5, his photo #28579. Our grade is AG3+ sharpness net AG3. Removed from an earlier PCGS slab graded AG3 (label #36230.03/15000048 included, and it shows the Strauss-Frankenfield-Ellsworth provenance along with the attribution). The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the new PCGS secure label. Estimated Value $500-UP
