1853 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1853 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Repunched 185. Frosty mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints, at least 80% of the red showing. The surfaces are lustrous, but the luster is not as brilliant as you expect from a piece with so much mint color. No spots or stains, and the only contact mark is a shallow dig at the top of the A in STATES. E-MDS, die state a late. Fine repunching is visible over the base of the 1 and inside the bottom of the 5, but it is no longer visible on the 8. The small lump below the ball of the 5 is clear and the fields on both sides show fine radial die flowlines from die wear. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30897. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
