1839 N-3 R1 Head of 1838 MS64
1839 N-3 R1 Head of 1838 MS64. Choice lustrous steel and chocolate brown with generous traces of mint color remaining on the obverse and nearly half the bright mint red remaining on the reverse. Outstanding eye appeal with the look of a flawless gem. The only marks are a very faint spot of slightly darker toning in the field off the chin, two tiny specks of darker toning between the T & E in STATES, and a microscopic tick on the line under N in CENT. MDS displaying fine radial die flowlines in the fields on both sides and the start of a depression in the field (from die erosion) between star 1 and the throat. Called MS63 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #56029.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
