Lot 292
1852 N-17 R1 Repunched 1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel brown on the devices with at least half of the original red remaining. The only marks are from an old fingerprint in the field before the face; otherwise this cent is a gem. Sharply struck MDS, die state b. The repunching under the left half of the base of the 1 is dull but still visible and a small lump has formed on the upright of the E in ONE. An attractive, lustrous cent. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer and the only MSRB example for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $400-UP
Ex Eugene Sternlicht 1/1991-J. R. Grellman Collection 2/1/2012-Fred Iskra Collection (includes the Grellman collection envelope).
