Lot 314
1853 N-15 R2 Repunched 5 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive frosty medium brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red remaining on both sides. The only marks are a thin nick on the rim under the 3, a very thin vertical nick left of star 12, and a faint hairline down from the inner point of star 10. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The die line from the chin to star 3 is clear and the fields around UNITED are smooth (which is quite unusual for this variety). Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#12 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Goodridge provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $350-UP
