Lot 702
1845 N-15 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Glossy light chocolate brown with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned long ago but the eye appeal remains excellent. No spots or stains, only a few tiny ticks on the cheek. MDS, die state b. The horizontal die lines from the lowest curl into the field over star 13 have been lapped off the die. Called AU55 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31359. Our grade is AU58, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. A single MS60 example stands ahead of this piece, and it has not been seen since 1990.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
