Lot 807
1847 N-35 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty faded mint red blending to olive and steel brown on the devices, half the faded red remaining. The only marks are microscopic and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. Nicely struck with full radial lines in all but a couple of the stars; however the hair at the top of the ear is not fully impressed, as usual on early strikes of this variety. A small spot of slightly darker toning right of the top of star 2 is the best identifying mark on this cent. Rare EDS, die state a. Both dies are uncracked and the fine die finishing lines are clear. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #55094. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
