Lot 147
1823 Private Restrike PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Beautiful light chocolate brown with faint overtones of light bluish steel in the fields and traces of faded original red in protected areas on both sides. Virtually flawless in every respect. Late die state with two die cracks on each side, and all the cracks are strong. Certainly one of the final strikes from this famous pair of dies, struck shortly after 1879 according to Breen. Our grade is MS65. PCGS Population 4; none finer.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
