Lot 774
1847 N-14 R3+ PCGS graded "Genuine." Frosty light brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Great eye appeal, but a glass reveals this piece was lightly cleaned, mainly on the obverse, and traces of faded red remain on both sides, mostly on the reverse. A few tiny carbon spots at D-STA are the only notable marks. M-LDS, die state c. The die crack at ME is weak but present and the die lines from the dentils left of star 1 are dull but still visible. Called AU55 and tied for CC#10 in the Noyes census, his photo #31579. Our grade is net AU50, tied for CC#18 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Jack Collins, Bowers & Ruddy 10/7/77:961.
