Lot 758
1847 N-4 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Repunched 18. Lustrous mint red mellowing to steel and chocolate brown, more than a third of the red showing, mostly on the obverse. A small nick high on the bust tip is the only notable mark, and it is very easily missed. Excellent eye appeal. Nicely struck E-MDS, die state b. Fine die cracks extend through most of the reverse legend, including a light crack through the top of MER to the dentils off both ends. The repunching on the 18 remains bold. Called MS64 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31235. Our grade is MS64, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
