1847 N-14 R4+ MS62. Frosty light steel brown with bluish steel overtones and at least 10% of the original mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous. There is a light nick in the field right of star 4, another over star 2, and a tiny nick on the nose. Great eye appeal for the grade; looks choice.
MDS, die state c early, with several fine die cracks around the reverse legend including one through the top of ME. The die lines from the dentils left of star 1 are dull but visible. Tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. DWH #2322.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
