Finest Late State 1844 N-3 Cent, MS64 Red and Brown

1844 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Naftzger Collection. N-3, R.2. Grellman Die State e, which he calls rare, although more recently he has stated that the die state "is not especially rare." However, this lovely piece is considered the finest known of the die state and possibly the variety. This is the terminal die state with a large obverse rim break over stars 9 through 11. Fine reverse die cracks are also evident. The obverse has about 60% original red, faded to medium brown, and the reverse retains nearly 90% of its original red mint color. Noyes grades this piece MS64, while we agree with Grellman's grade of MS63+.
Ex: Wayte Raymond (10/1945), lot 155; Willard C. Blaisdell (9/1976); R.E. Naftzger, Jr.(Registry values: N1793)
