Lot 57
1845 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown and olive with traces of very faded mint red showing on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. No spots or stains. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a dull pinprick on the jaw left of the bottom of the earlobe and two microscopic planchet flakes in the field right of the inner curl (as struck). E-MDS, die state a late. The obverse is uncracked. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
Ex J. R. Grellman Collection 2/1/2012-Fred Iskra Collection (includes the Grellman collection envelope).
