Lot 128
1847 N-28 R4+ Repunched 4 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Glossy medium brown with a tiny splash of darker chocolate brown toning on the N in ONE. Satiny mint frost covers the protected areas on both sides and the eye appeal is excellent. Looks choice mint state but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices. E-MDS, die state b, with fine die cracks on the reverse but no rim cuds. The repunching on the 4 is clear. Our grade is AU58, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. Comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 5 finer: 1 in 63, 3 in 64, 1 in 65. Estimated Value $600 - UP
