Lot 792
1847 N-26 R3 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Highly lustrous light greenish olive brown with very faded mint color showing in the protected areas on the obverse. Virtually flawless, and the eye appeal is outstanding. Hence the high grade awarded by PCGS. The best identifying marks are a tiny spot of darker olive brown toning in the field off the tip of the bust and another over the left top of the R in AMERICA. MDS, die state c. The obverse fields are covered with fine die rust and there are several light die cracks on the reverse but no rim cuds. Called MS63 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #31461. Our grade is MS63+, close to MS64, and tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
