Lot 142
1847 N-39 R3- PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous medium chocolate and light olive brown with traces of very faded mint color on both sides. No spots or stains, only a few trivial ticks of no significance on both sides. A good identifying mark is a tiny planchet void off the lower right point of star 2, as struck. MDS, die state b early. Most of the fine die lines on the reverse that are present in the early state are gone, but one of the fine lines from the O in ONE to the E in CENT remains visible. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 1 finer in 65+.
