1851 L1C N-1 R3 NGC MS66 RB
The obverse is frosty faded mint red mellowing to bluish steel brown, about half the faded red remaining. The reverse is lustrous bright original mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints, 80% of the red remaining. The surfaces are satiny and quite attractive, very close to gem. The only marks are a very tiny planchet chip on the cheek near the curl, as struck, and some slightly darker toning at the tip of the coronet and in the field right of the inner curl. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, with sharp repunching at the base of the first 1 and numerous die finishing lines in the obverse fields. EAC grade MS64+, very cose to MS65. Finest known example of the variety. The attribution is noted on the NGC label.
