Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1846 N-1 R1 Repunched 18 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Frosty steel and light chocolate brown with hints of light bluish steel overtones in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and the only mark is a faint spot of very slightly darker reddish steel toning over star 12. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, without any die cracks on the obverse. The repunching on the 18 is obvious. Our grade is MS60+, finest known example of this rare die state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
