Lot 1020
1851 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Mellowed mint red faded to steel and light olive brown on the devices, nearly half the planchet still showing faded mint color. Virtually flawless except for a dull nick on the tip of the chin plus a few inconsequential ticks elsewhere on the chin and lower edge of the bust. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines seen in the earlier state are gone and the upper half of the date is weakening due to die wear, especially the top of the 8. Called MS64 and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #55027. Our grade is MS64, CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
