Lot 1129
1848 N-23 R3 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy steel brown and light chocolate with generous traces of mellowed mint red showing on both sides. Satiny mint luster shows in the fields and protected areas. This cent has mint state sharpness, but there are a couple faint hairline scratches in the field before the nose plus a fine scratch from the nostril to the jaw under the earlobe where it fades away. E-MDS, die state a. The fine die line through the O in ONE is clear. Our grade is net AU55, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 2 finer in 64BN.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
