1851 N-13 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. The obverse is lustrous mint red faded to light olive and steel on the devices with more than a third of the mint red remains. The reverse toning is identical but only 15% of the original mint color has survived on that side. The only marks are traces of an old fingerprint in the field before the face. Excellent eye appeal, a choice example in every respect. Scarce EDS, die state a, with die lines extending up to the right from the dentils under the 51. Called MS64 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30941. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
