Lot 104
1847 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Glossy light olive and steel brown with mellowed mint red covering 10% of the obverse; only traces of faded mint color remains visible on the reverse. The only notable mark is a spot of shallow carbon on the rim right of star 10. Nicely struck EDS+, die state a late. The dash left of the base of the 4 is weak but visible and the die line down from the dentils between stars 6 & 7 is sharp. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census but tied for finest known of the early die state. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 finer in 64. Estimated Value $450 - UP
