Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1850 N-2 R1 Repunched 1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with traces of mint red remaining on both sides. The only marks are a faint spot of slightly darker chocolate toning in the center of the neck, a speck of crud nestled between two dentils right of star 6, and a small spot of darker chocolate toning over the N in ONE. Nicely struck E-MDS, die state c, with a very fine die crack from ED in UNITED to the dentils over the adjacent S. The fields on the lower part of the obverse are covered with strong die lines and the repunching on the 1 is clear. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#9 with several other examples of the variety in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
