1833 N-5 R1 MS60. Repunched 8.
1833 N-5 R1 MS60. Repunched 8. MS-60. Lustrous bluish steel brown with a few small splashes of reddish chocolate toning on the obverse and at least 5% of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. The largest splash of the reddish brown toning is near the dentils over star 9 with a smaller one near the hair under the left edge of star 8. A small nick just right of the nostril and a slightly larger one under the ribbon loop at the bottom of the wreath are the only contact marks. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent for the grade in spite of the minor distractions. E-MDS. The repunching on the 8 is clear and the stray 8 in the dentils below the normal 8 remains visible, although it is dull. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS63BN (NGC label included). DWH #2617.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
