Lot 1157
1849 N-17 R3+ PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous light chocolate with subtle overtones of light bluish steel in protected areas. A couple tiny peeps of faded mint red show on both sides. No spots or stains, virtually flawless. A light diagonal nick hidden in the dentils under the 4 is the best identifying mark. E-MDS, die state b. The fine die lines right of the T in CENT are sharp and many tiny lumps caused by die rust are scattered over the reverse. A neat intermediate die state for this scarce variety. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Chris McCawley FPL 11/93.
