1846 N-8 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1846 N-8 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous bright mint red faded to steel brown and olive on the devices, nearly half the original color still showing, mostly on the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and free of contact marks. The only defects, and they are trivial, are a small spot of dark toning under star 13 and a thin, very shallow streak of dark planchet impurity on the bottom of the bust above the right side of the 8 (as struck). MDS, die state b early. The die lines at the throat and N in ONE are weak but still visible. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31341. Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65, and tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
