Lot 1047
1851 N-17 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. First 1 Repunched. Glossy steel and chocolate with hints of very faded red in protected areas, possibly from an old dipping. The only mark of any significance is a thin wave of darker toning across the upper half of the obverse. EDS, die state a, with myriad strong die lines covering the obverse fields, strongest around the date. A sharp horizontal line crosses the upright of the first 1 just below its center, a remnant of a misplaced 1. Called AU55 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #30503. Our grade is AU58, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
