Lot 396
1827 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous light brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and traces of faded mint red showing on both sides, mostly on the obverse. The obverse appears choice to the unaided eye, but a good glass reveals a couple faint hairline scratches: one through star 1 to the ear lobe and another through star 3 fading out in the field just before the forehead. In addition, there is a small carbon spot under the first T in STATES, one inside the N in CENT, and another on the wreath stem right of that T. LDS with crumbling on the front edge of the brow and similar crumbling nestled between the upper lip and bottom edge of the nose. Called MS63 and tied for CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net AU50, his photo #25337. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 5; 4 finer, 2 in 64, 1 in 65, 1 in 66 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
