Lot 830
1848 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS67 Brown. Repunched 18. Highly lustrous bluish steel and light olive with generous traces of mint color remaining in protected areas, mostly on the obverse. Satiny mint frost dominates both sides of this cent, which is flawless except for a thin diagonal nick off the left foot of the T in CENT. The eye appeal of this cent is fantastic. A solid gem in every respect. LDS, die state d. The repunching on the 1 & 8 remains obvious and a fine die crack extends from the dentils through CA and clockwise around the wreath before exiting from the leaf tip under the second S in STATES and passing through F-AM to the dentils above. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30518. Our grade is MS65, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Del Bland 2/7/73.
