Lot 1276
1857 N-2 R1+ Small Date NGC graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous steel and chocolate brown with hints of light bluish steel overtone in the fields and faded mint color showing through in the protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal. The only defects are a tiny tick on star 5, another on the rim left of star 7, and a microscopic planchet flake midway between the chin and star 2. The strike is sharp except for the usual weakness on the cornet above LIB. MDS, die state a late. The fine die lines over UNITE are weak but some remain visible. Our grade is MS62+. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Pop 6; 2 in 66BN at NGC in Brown for the variety.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
