1851 N-15 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red.
1851 N-15 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red. Blazing bright original mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints, about 95% of the bright original color remaining. A small splash of dark bluish steel toning in the dentils just right of the date, a nick on the lower half of the second 1, and a faint planchet lamination near the dentils at star 11 are the notable defects, and only the bluish steel toning is visible without the aid of a strong glass. M-LDS, die state b. Only a couple small, dull points remain from the main curl over the tip of the inner curl. Same hoard die state as the preceding lot, and nearly identical in terms of its superb eye appeal. Called MS64 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #30893. Our grade is MS65+, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
