Lot 162 1857 N-1 R1 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.Lustrous bluish steel and olive with at least a third of the mellowed mint red remaining. No spots or stains. The only marks are a nick-like pre-striking planchet chip between the bust tip and star 1 and a tiny pinprick on the end of the chin. E-MDS, die state a. The die lines over NI in UNITED are dull but visible and the top of a stray 18 in the dentils under the 8 is clear. Our grade is MS63.
