Lot 741
1846 N-21 R5+ PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Very attractive lustrous medium brown and light olive with attractive light bluish steel overtones in the fields and very faded mint red in protected areas on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet extending to even the highest points of the design. Very sharply struck. The stars and devices are perfectly impressed and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. It is difficult to locate an identifying mark on this cent, so a small area of slightly darker toning over the E in UNITED will have to suffice for this purpose. MDS, die state a. The obverse die cracks are clear and the fields on that side are satiny rather than prooflike, but the rim cud over star 7 has not formed. Called MS63 CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31347. Our grade is MS63 CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
