Lot 931
1849 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Repunched 1. Glossy light olive and chocolate with generous traces of mint color remaining on both sides. Underlying frosty mint luster shows through in the fields and protected areas, and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only notable marks are a spot of slightly darker toning off the peak of the 1 and another smaller one in the field under the left edge of star 7. M-LDS, die state c, with a rim cud break from the right top of the U in UNITED to the tip of the wreath ribbon. The repunching under the right foot of the 1 is dull but clearly visible. Called MS61 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30938. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#5 overall but finest of the die state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
