Lot 1068
1851 N-29 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown. First 1 Repunched. Frosty mint red fading to steel and light olive with nearly a third of the mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. A faint splash of slightly darker brown toning at the L in LIBERTY and a very fine scuff along the dentil tips over S-OF-A are the only marks worthy of mention, and they are not at all distracting. E-MDS, die state a. The repunching under the base of the first 1 is dull but still visible and the die line at the throat remains clear. Called MS64 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30451. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
