1848 N-31 R2+ PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous dark bluish steel and chocolate brown with traces of faded mint red showing on both sides. Great eye appeal. Just a few minor marks, including a splash of reddish chocolate toning at the dentils over star 9 and two closely spaced nicks right of star 4. Rather well struck but there is some weakness in several of the stars and the edge of the coronet over LIB is not fully impressed. E-MDS, die state b. The tops of the C & E in CENT are joined by crumbling. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30561. Our grade is MS62+, close to MS63, and tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex J. C. Morgenthau & Co. 7/27/1939-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
