Lot 1038
1851 N-14 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. First 1 Repunched. Lustrous slightly faded mint red shifting to bluish steel and olive on the devices, nearly half the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. A small horizontal nick left of the earlobe and another on the nose before the eye are the only signs of contact, and a tiny spot of dark toning near the dentils at star 6 is a good identifying mark on this otherwise fantastic cent. Nicely struck M-LDS, die state c. The die lines at the throat and evidence of the repunching on the first 1 are gone. Called MS64 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30992. Our grade is MS64, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
Ex Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
