Lot 726
1846 N-11 R1 Medium Date PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. The obverse is lustrous mint red mellowing to light bluish steel brown with more than half the red remaining. The reverse is lustrous very light steel brown faded down from mint color with hints of bluish steel overtone. Both sides offer outstanding eye appeal and it would be a gem in every respect if not for an extremely faint vertical planchet lamination from star 6 down through the portrait to the 1 in the date. This defect is mint made, of course, and it looks more like a very fine die crack than a lamination flaw. Nicely struck EDS, die state a, with fine diagonal die lines from the dentils under the date. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31043. Our grade is MS63+, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Abner Kreisberg (date not recorded, but the late 1960's would be a good guess).
