Lot 755
1847 N-3 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Repunched Date. Highly lustrous bluish steel and light olive brown with traces of faded mint red showing on the obverse, 15% on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The best identifying marks are a tiny speck of dark olive toning under the N in CENT and a tiny nick on the upright of that E. Terminal die state, state f, with four small but clearly defined rim cud breaks on the reverse, the last of these located over OF. The date repunching is gone except for a trace inside the top of the 8. This is Newcomb's #33 in its latest state. Called MS63 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #31612. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#2 overall but finest of the terminal state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
