Lot 707
1852 N-5 R2. MS-60 Plus. Beautiful and highly lustrous bluish steel and chocolate brown. The only marks are a faint spot of slightly darker toning hidden in the hair right of the ear and a smaller one in the field under star 4. Great eye appeal for the grade. E-MDS, die state a. The fields are covered with microscopic radial die flowlines but the fine die lines from the dentils under star 13 remain clear. Tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
