Lot 1031
1851 N-10 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red. Blazing bright original mint red, virtually flawless and as fresh as the day it was struck. Finding an identifying mark presents a challenge, and a microscopic speck of dark toning at the right foot of the N in CENT will have to suffice. This is a remarkable large cent worthy of the very finest "Registry" collection. MDS, die state b. The die lines and points of the early state are gone but the dull lump in the field over star 3 that shows in the later state is not present. Called MS69 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30989. Our grade is MS67, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/84:667.
