1848 N-8 R3- PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1848 N-8 R3- PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous slightly faded mint red shifting to bluish steel and light olive on the devices, more than half the red remaining. Essentially as struck except for the minor change in color. The only marks are a diagonal tick just right of the nostril and a small spot of darker toning that connects the feet of the E & R in AMERICA. Nicely struck with complete radial lines in all the stars and fully impressed devices. Shallow low spots caused by debris (grease?) on the die show under ENT and around the E in ONE, and these low spots are common on the later state of this variety. Called MS64 and tied for CC#1 honors with the preceding example in the Noyes census, his photo #30883. Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
