Description

The Granberg-Woodin-Starr 1826 N-4 Cent

1826 1C MS65 Brown NGC. MS60+ EAC. N-4, Early Die State, R.2. Examples of this die pairing are from a rather consistent or stable state of the dies with little deterioration. This example is fifth or sixth finest for the variety although two Gem quality examples have not been seen for several decades. Lovely steel-blue and olive-brown surfaces are blended with lighter tan. Hints of mint red peek through on the obverse. Except for a couple tiny marks on Liberty's cheek and chin, the surfaces are virtually perfect. This is an exceptional example that will certainly please the connoisseur.
