Lot 153
1825 N-7 R3 Repunched 5 PCGS graded AU53. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and nearly free of marks, and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. A very light diagonal hairline scratch between stars 4 & 5 is the only notable mark, and it is barely visible. MDS. A fine but clear die crack reaches from the curl at star 13 down to the dentils just right of the date and rim crumbling shows at star 11 up nearly to star 10. The repunching on the 5 is sharp. Called VF35 Choice and CC#17 in the Noyes census, his photo #26819. Our grade is EF40. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36799. Estimated Value $700 - UP
