Lot 957
1849 N-24 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Very attractive and highly lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with generous traces of faded mint color showing on the reverse. No spots, stains, or notable marks. Great eye appeal. The best identifying mark is a tiny vertical nick just left of the peak of the 1. Nicely struck EDS, die state a. The die lines over UNITED are sharp. Called MS61 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30884. Our grade is MS62+, very close to MS63, and CC#1 in the Grellman census. Only 2 mint state examples are known according to both census lists, this being the better piece.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
