1851 N-17 R2 PCGS graded "Genuine." First 1 Repunched. Frosty golden light brown and chocolate, most likely dipped long ago and nicely retoned. The only notable marks are a faint hairline scratch from the inner curl to the throat where it fades away and a spot of dark toning at the curl left of star 13. LDS, die state c. The point down to the right from the main curl is gone and there are two tiny rim cud breaks (which are difficult to see in the slab) at stars 1-2. Called MS62 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30746. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
