1851 N-33 R4 First 1 Repunched PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous bluish steel and light olive brown with underlying faded mint color covering about 25% of the obverse. The reverse displays traces of mint color, but it also has a reddish steel stain at ON that reaches up to the two berries above. This stain is a distraction but the remainder of the cent is beautiful. The only other defect is a rim nick at the A in STATES. MDS, die state b early. The repunching on the first 1 is weak but still visible. Our grade is MS62, CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
