1856  N-11  R1  MS65             $4000 

 

Upright 5. Frosty bright original mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints with 85% of the original color remaining. Great eye appeal, virtually perfect in every respect. The only marks are a speck of carbon between the tops of the 1 & 8 in the date and a barely visible tick over star 3. LDS, die state b. The spike from the left top of the R in AMERICA is gone and the fields are covered with radial die flowlines that have eroded those fields, especially on the obverse. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31225. Our grade is MS65+, close to MS66, and CC#1 in the Grellman census.

Provenance: Ex Wayne G. Slife, Lester Merkin 10/6/72:707-Stack's 3/18/86:917 (via Tony Terranova).
