Lot 225
1849 N-30 R5+ PCGS graded AU50, CAC Approved. Glossy medium brown with light chocolate brown toning on the highpoints. Mint frost shows in the protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. There is a touch of friction on the highpoints and only trivial contact marks, none notable. The best identifying mark is a tiny planchet chip resting on the top of the nostril (as struck). EDS, die state a. All the fine die lines are sharp and there is no crumbling inside the top of the N in ONE. Our grade is EF45, CC#10 for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 3 finer: 2 in 63, 1 in 64. Estimated Value $750 - UP
