Lot 447
1847 N-22 R3+. NGC graded MS-67 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel brown and light olive at least 5% of the slightly faded mint red remaining on each side. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the designs. The only defects are a pair of fine but fresh pin scratches from the truncation to the 47 in the date, traces of an old fingerprint around star 11, and a pinprick at the left foot of the first A in AMERICA. MDS, die state c. There is a strong die crack from the dentils to the left foot of the 1 in the date but the fine crack from the dentils under star 1 does not reach the neck. Our grade is MS65 net MS63+ for the tiny scratches, CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Pop 2; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
