1848 N-33 R5+ MS60.
1848 N-33 R5+ MS60. Lustrous bluish steel brown with 15% of the original mint red remaining on each side. Would rate a slightly higher grade except for a vertical scuff on the highpoints inside the wreath and a streak of darker toning down through the center of the reverse. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state a (there is no state b for this variety). The obverse fields are frosty rather than reflective indicating microscopic die wear. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, and the obverse is choice. CC#5 in the Grellman census. DWH #2327.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
