Lot 136
1822 N-11 R2 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Frosty reddish steel brown faded down from mint color with overtones of bluish steel. Ample faded mint color remains in the protected areas on both sides and the eye appeal of this piece is outstanding. The only marks are a faint spot of darker toning at the peak of the 1 in the date and a pair of tiny nick-like planchet voids on the cheek right of the nostril. Early die state. The strike is needle sharp except for the radial lines in some of the lower stars. Called MS65+ and finest known in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and CC#1, his photo #21514. Our grade is MS64. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
Ex Abner Kreisberg 8/1955.
