1850 N-25 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous tan and light olive. Satiny and very attractive. The only notable mark is a spot of slightly darker reddish brown toning in the field left of star 11. The reverse is flawless. Sharply struck M-LDS with full radial lines in all the stars. The fields are covered with fine die flowlines and the earlier lines over RI in AMERICA are dull but visible. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer. Estimated Value $700 - UP
