1855 N-7 R1 MS60.
1855 N-7 R1 MS60. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with a trace of mint color on the obverse. There is a shallow planchet void or low spot in the center of the cheek, as struck, plus some tiny pinpricks in the field off the browlock. Otherwise the surfaces are satiny and free of defects. LDS, die state d, with a faint die crack through the top of MERIC, clearest at RI. The fields are flowlined and the date is weak from die wear. Not in the overall condition census but finest of the late state in the Grellman census. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included). DWH #2347.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
