Lot 807
1847 N-35 R3+ PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous light steel brown with nearly a third of the mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks are a few small spots of darker steel toning, the largest of these at the dentils left of the 1 in the date. E-MDS, die state b, with fine die cracks at UNITED and ST but without a die crack through the base of the date. The central devices are softly struck as often seen on this variety. Our grade is net MS62, CC#4 for the variety in the Grellman census. Noyes photo #33913. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Population 2; none finer in RB at PCGS.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
