Lot 1152
1849 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown with frosty luster covering the protected areas, especially on the reverse. No notable marks, but there is a touch of friction on the highest points of the design. A hint of reddish chocolate toning over the E in UNITED is a good identifying mark. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The die lines at UN in UNITED are clear. Our grade is AU55. The attribution is incorrectly shown as "Newcomb-9" on the PCGS label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
