Lot 654
1853 N-28 R3+ PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Beautiful lustrous light reddish steel brown faded down from mint color with about a third of the planchet showing underlying mellowed mint red. The only mark, and it is not distracting, is a spot of darker toning just left of the lowest curl on the neck. Nicely struck MDS, die state b. The hair at the ear is fully struck and the die lines near the dentils at stars 4 & 12 are still visible. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Twin Leaf provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Pop 2; tied for the finest MSBN examples graded at both services for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
