Description

1853 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-25, R.1. Grellman die state b. A horizontal line under the base of the 1 in the date identifies this variety. Grellman writes that there was a hoard of Mint State examples of this die state, which no longer has visible die lines on the reverse. About a 50/50 distribution of red and brown is present on each side, with the devices mostly mahogany colored compared to the bright red patina in the fields. The stars are weakly struck, as is often the case, but the rest of the details are fully defined. Housed in an old NGC holder. EAC 63.(Registry values: N1793)
