Lot 346
1854 N-14 R2 Repunched 4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous medium steel brown and light chocolate. Traces of faded mint color show in protected areas on the obverse. A choice cent if not for a shallow low spot that covers the neck (as struck), and a vertical nick inside the top of the low spot. E-MDS, die state a late. The repunching inside the triangle of the 4 is clear and the die lines from the dentils over NI in UNITED are dull but visible. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#15 for the variety but tied for CC#3 of those known in die state a in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $400-UP
