Lot 879
1848 N-28 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Bright lustrous mint red shifting to steel brown on the highpoints, 75% of the mint color remaining. Sharply struck, only star 5 fails to show all its radial lines. The only notable flaw is a mint-made depression in the dentils at star 6. Great eye appeal. M-LDS, die state c. The strongest die lines at ON and CE have been reduced to dull points from those letters and the fine lines are gone. Called MS60 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #30607. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
