Lot 1130
1848 N-24 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous chocolate and steel brown with traces of faded mint color on both sides. The only mark is a carbon spot in the field close to the throat. LDS, die state c. The die line from the top of the O in ONE is gone. The strike is typical for the die state with weakness on the stars, along the top of the head, and at the truncation above the 48. Our grade is MS60, CC#3 in the Grellman census. An important cent, one of only 3 mint state pieces known for this tough variety. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
