Lot 715
1852 N-15 R3. NGC graded MS-65 Brown. Lustrous dark bluish steel and olive brown with faded mint red covering about 15% of both sides. Great eye appeal and only a few trivial marks, including a tiny nick on the rim near the dentils under the 5 and a microscopic pinprick on the rim just above star 4. LDS, die state c. The die lines and points at NE in ONE are gone and the obverse fields are covered with radial die flowlines that create great cartwheel luster. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The NGC label includes the attribution.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
