Lot 674
1844 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown, at least half the bright original color remaining, mostly on the obverse. This piece would be a fantastic gem example if not for a pair of tiny splashes of darker toning on the Y and hairbun. The only contact marks are a few tiny nicks on the top of the ear and a pair of faint hairlines at the bottom of the reverse. MDS, die state c, with a thin rim cud break at stars 4-5. A fine die crack passes through the top of UNITED but the one at the F in OF has not formed. Called MS64 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31237. Our grade is MS64+, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
