Lot 937
1849 N-16 R5 PCGS graded "Genuine." Glossy dark olive and steel brown with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas. There is a dull nick on the nose and some very faint hairlines in the obverse fields, but overall the surfaces are nice and smooth. Both sides are covered with a very thin layer of "Care" or some similar protectant (which could be removed), and this coating is most evident on the reverse where it is collected in a few of the protected areas. MDS, die state b, with minor crumbling inside the bottom of the 9 and on several of the stars. Called EF45 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #55055. Our grade is EF45, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
