Lot 681
1845 N-2 R1 PCGS graded "Genuine." An uncirculated, nearly full mint red cent that has fine diagonal hairlines on the obverse thanks to an improper brushing or abrasion on that side. The reverse is pristine, nearly gem. The only other marks are a half dozen specks of darker toning scattered over the obverse. MDS, die state a late. The small lump over the N in ONE is weak but still visible as are the fine die lines that connect the left foot of the second A in AMERICA to the leaf below. Called MS63 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31498. Our grade is net MS60+, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
