Lot 1051
1851 N-19 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Second 1 Repunched. Lustrous mint red fading to steel and olive brown on the highpoints with 70% of the mint color remaining. Just a few trivial marks from flawless, including a small spot of darker chocolate toning over star 11, a very shallow low spot covering much of the neck (as struck), a small spot of dark toning inside the O in ONE, and a thin nick on the rim over the F in OF. Great eye appeal. MDS, die state c. Several die cracks have developed on the obverse, including a fine one from star 1 to the chin extending up the face to before the eye. The repunching on the second 1 is faint, visible only as a dull horizontal line left of the upright. Called MS66 and CC#1 by 3 points in the Noyes census, his photo #30942. Our grade is MS65+, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
