Lot 276
1851 N-13 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Glossy medium brown with hints of very faded mint red on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only notable marks are a tiny planchet chip low on the neck above the 8 (as struck) and a faint horizontal hairline scratch under the E in CENT. Scarce EDS, die state a, with diagonal die lines from the dentils under the 851. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 64. Estimated Value $350 - UP
