1848 N-31 R2+ PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Highly lustrous bluish steel brown and light olive with generous traces of faded mint color showing in protected areas on the reverse. A great cent, virtually flawless, with unbroken satiny mint frost covering the obverse. The obverse is a solid gem while the reverse is not quite as impressive by comparison since it doesn't have the same blast of luster. The best identifying marks are a microscopic tick on the throat and a speck of darker toning over the E in CENT. M-LDS, die state d, with three dentils fused together by crumbling over the R in AMERICA. Called MS64 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30605. Our grade is MS64, CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
Ex Barney Bluestone 11/5/1941:613-Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/84:588.
