Lot 767
1847 N-12 R3 PCGS graded "Genuine." Repunched 8. Frosty light greenish olive and light chocolate brown. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned, but this cent is attractive nonetheless. No notable marks, but the strike is weak on the coronet over LIB and at the opposing area at the bottom of the wreath, and none of the stars is fully impressed. Rare MDS, die state b, with a die crack on the rim outlining where a rim cud is forming right of star 9. One of only a very few that show this die crack. The repunching inside the top of the 8 is sharp. Called AU50 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #31528. Our grade is EF45, tied for CC#12 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex New Netherlands Coin Co. 11/10/51:121-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
