Lot 823
1847 N-39 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown with traces of faded mint color showing through on the obverse. The fields are lustrous thanks to microscopic die flowlines and the eye appeal is quite nice. 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. The fine die lines on the reverse that are present in the early state are now gone. Called AU55 and tied for CC#16 in the Noyes census, his photo #55018. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Tony Terranova 2/8/92.
