1851 N-7 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red faded to olive and steel on the devices, two-thirds of the red showing on the obverse, 85% on the reverse. A spot of darker toning on the throat and another on the E in CENT are the only significant distractions. Traces of an old fingerprint show in the obverse fields and a couple small nicks on the throat round out the notable marks. M-LDS, die state a. The die lines at the inner curl are dull but clear. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30845. Our grade is MS63+, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
