1851 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Repunched Date. Attractive lustrous light olive brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Great eye appeal and virtually flawless. A speck of darker olive brown toning over star 8 and a faint wisp of reddish brown toning under star 9 are the only notable marks. MDS, die state b late. The repunching on the date is dull but remains visible on all 4 digits, strongest on the 51, and there is evidence of at least two stray 1's punched behind the first 1. The die lines down to the right around the date that are found on early examples are gone. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30649. Our grade is MS63+, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
