Lot 146
1855 N-10 R1 Italic 55 PCGS graded MS65+ Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous bright mint red just starting to fade to light steel brown on the highpoints, about two-thirds of the original red remaining, mostly on the reverse. No contact marks, only some small spots of darker toning (not carbon) scattered over both sides. The notable spots are a tiny one between star 1 and the dentils and a larger one under the left foot of the M in AMERICA. MDS, die state e. The fields are no longer reflective thanks to microscopic flowlines, and the dies are not clogged. All the stars are full and display their radial lines. A very nice example of the "Italic 55" type. Our grade is MS64. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 66 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,750 - UP
