Lot 966
1849 N-29 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Highly lustrous and very attractive bluish steel and light olive brown with 15% of the slightly faded mint color remaining. Both sides are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is outstanding. Essentially flawless, the only marks being a shallow low spot on the lower part of the neck (caused by debris on the die) and a small nick-like depression on the rim over the first S in STATES, as struck, and a thin nick close over the D in UNITED. Nicely struck MDS, die state b late. The die lines at the neck are short but sharp and the rim cud breaks under the date and star 13 are clear. The die line at NI in UNITED has not been added to the die. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #55121. Our grade is MS63, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
