Lot 792
1846 N-18 R1 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty bluish steel brown and light olive with traces of faded mint red showing on both sides, particularly on the reverse. Nearly flawless and free of rub on the highpoints, but the strike is soft (which is rather typical of the early die state for this variety). The only marks are a speck of carbon on the lower point of star 13 and another at the dentils left of star 3. EDS, die state a. The reverse is uncracked. Our grade is MS60 but softly struck, tied for CC#10 with many others in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 3 finer: 1 in 63, 2 in 64.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
