Lot 750
1847 N-2 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Repunched Date, the so-called Large 7 over Small 7 variety. Frosty light chocolate and steel brown with lustrous lighter steel brown toning in protected areas and attractive bluish steel overtones in the reverse fields. Excellent eye appeal, only a few trivial contact marks from flawless. A couple very faint diagonal hairlines under EN in CENT can help identify this cent. LDS, die state c, with fine die cracks through the tops of MER and ED. The repunching on the 1, 4, and 7 in the date remains clearly visible, and the "Large 7 over Small 7" feature is obvious. Called MS60 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #31499. Our grade is AU55, CC#9 overall but finest of the late die state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
