Lot 255
1851 N-22 R4 PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved. Choice glossy uniform light chocolate brown. Smooth and very attractive for the grade. The only notable marks are a small pinprick in the field over the end of the nose and a tiny, light rim bruise under the end of the wreath ribbon. M-LDS, die state c early. Die polishing has removed nearly all of the earlier die lines. A lightly worn example of a variety that seldom is found in high grade. Our grade is EF45, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer, 1 in 64, 1 in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $250-UP
