PCGS MS 65 RB

CAC Approved. Medium Letters, Plain Hair Cord (N-3). Lustrous medium steel brown and light olive with a third of the mint red remaining on both sides. The only notable marks, and they are trivial, are a small puff of darker bluish steel toning at the dentil tips right of star 11 and faint traces of an old fingerprint on the front of the face. MDS. The die cracks on the reverse are clear (an un-cracked example is unknown) and fine die clash marks are visible on both sides. Not seen by Noyes or Bland. Tied for finest RB of the variety at both services.

CAC Approved. Small Letters (N-5), Plain Hair Cord. Bold, swirling luster flows uninterrupted along light brown surfaces that have an icy, steel blue iridescent hue over smooth fields. Tinges of gold and hints of original mint red cling to protected areas of the devices. Bluntly struck, as typical for the variety, and displaying the extensive obverse die crack that identifies the marriage.

1C 1839 BOOBY HEAD
|
PCGS MS 65 BN
|
CAC Approved. Booby Head N-13. Nicely re-punched star 12; die cracks through much of United States and, contrary to Noyes, Wright was right in a 3rd crack through ES. Remnants of the initial orange-red in protected regions, but the open fields and high points are brown. Red cartwheel luster and crisply struck with only trivial marks save for an unobtrusive tick on the O of ONE and a small obverse rim depression at 1:30. Noyes (2012): "Wright et al have mentioned an additional crack through ES to rim over O which appears on later use 1839 N15 but we have not found this crack on 1839 N13".
