Lot 883
1848 N-29 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel and olive with very faded mint color showing through on about 10% of the planchet. No spots or stains, only a few tiny ticks on the cheek and one more on the left side of the O in ONE. Both sides are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is quite nice. E-MDS, die state a. The die lines behind ONE CENT are clear but not as strong as found in the early state thanks to a die polishing, but the small rim cud has not formed over star 8. Called MS60 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30562. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
