Lot 107
1848 N-13 R4 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty steel and chocolate brown with traces of faded mint red remaining on both sides. The eye appeal is excellent except for an obvious spot of dark toning on the rim under star 13. There are a couple nicks on the neck and a small mark in the field right of the main curl, but these defects are not significant. LDS, die state b, with a strong rim cud break over TES in STATES. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. Tied for CC#5 overall but second finest of the late state in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
