Lot 1072
1851 N-31 R3+ PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Glossy chocolate and dark steel brown with underlying very faded mint red covering at least 20% of the planchet, mostly on the obverse. The surfaces are lustrous and offer excellent eye appeal. Just a few microscopic marks, including a tiny spot of dark olive brown toning on the right top of the R in AMERICA. Nicely struck LDS, die state c. The spur from star 2 is gone, as is the die line at NE in ONE, and a tiny lump has been added nestled inside the right top of the T in CENT. The crude "W" on the cheek left of the earlobe is visible. Called MS62 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #30550. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex New Netherlands Coin Co. 6/19/58:1280.
