1848 N-28 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Highly lustrous mint red mellowing to bluish steel and light olive on the devices, two-thirds of the red showing. Great eye appeal, only a few small spots from flawless. These include a small carbon spot close over star 11, another in the dentils over the second A in AMERICA, and a spot of darker steel toning at the left foot of the first A in AMERICA. Nicely struck, although a few of the stars do not show all their radial lines. The obverse fields are smooth and hard, slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing. M-LDS, die state c. The lines at ON and EN are gone, only a couple dull points remaining from those letters. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30555. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 honors with the preceding example in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Tony Terranova 4/14/89.
