1853 N-18 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1853 N-18 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to steel and light olive brown on the devices, more than a third of the red showing, mostly on the reverse. Great eye appeal, only a few minor marks. These include a couple small spots nestled between points of star 5, a tiny tick on the coronet over the L in LIBERTY, and a few tiny specks between stars 12 & 13. MDS, die state a late. The die lines around the portrait are visible but dull and the fields are covered with minor roughness from die wear. The two dashes at the bottom of the 8 are visible but not sharp. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30998. Our grade is MS65, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
