1847 N-28 R3+ PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown.
1847 N-28 R3+ PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Repunched 4. Frosty bluish steel brown and olive with faded mint red covering 25% of the planchet. No spots, stains, or contact marks, but the strike is slightly weak. The coronet over LIB is not fully impressed and none of the stars have their radial lines. The only mark of any significance is a shallow, thin planchet void slanting through the lower half of the 8 in the date, as struck. E-MDS, die state b early. A fine die crack shows through the top of OF to the dentils at either end, but the remaining cracks normally found around the reverse legend are not present. Repunching shows clearly over the right foot of the 4 with weaker repunching visible over the crossbar. Called AU55 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #31166. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
