Lot 684
1845 N-4 R1 PCGS graded "Genuine." Lustrous olive and steel brown with original mint red covering 15% of the obverse, 30% of the reverse. This is a gem, problem-free cent except that both sides have been very delicately burnished, presumably to "enhance" the eye appeal of an already beautiful cent. The only mark is a tiny planchet flake midway between the date and star 13, as struck. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state b, with a fine die crack through TED to the dentils at right. Our grade is net MS60+.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Jerry A. Bobbe as "prooflike MS65."
