1847 N-14 R3+ PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous light olive faded down from mint color, 15-20% of the faded red remaining, mostly on the obverse. A few tiny specks of darker toning are scattered over the obverse, including one near the hair under star 7. Otherwise this cent is virtually flawless. Nicely struck, although a few of the stars do not display all their radial lines. E-MDS, die state b. Faint die cracks pass through portions of the reverse legend, but the crack through ME has not formed and the die lines from the dentils left of star 1 are visible. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31141. Our grade is MS64, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
