Lot 676
1844 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Repunched 844. Frosty olive and steel brown with hints of chocolate brown toning at stars 1-2. Satiny mint luster shows through in the fields and protected areas. A faint hairline scratch close over the tip of the coronet is the only defect of any significance, and a small spot of darker toning at the left top of the N in ONE can help identify this cent. Scarce LDS, die state d, with a strong rim cud break from under the 18 to star 1. The repunching on the 844 remains visible, strongest at the top of the first 4. Noyes graded AU55, his photo #31056. Our grade is MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#5 of those known with the rim cud.
