1837 N-5 R2 Plain Hair Cord, Small Ltrs. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Frosty light bluish steel and olive with faded mint red in the protected areas on both sides. Unbroken satiny mint luster covers this cent, even the highpoints of the devices, and the eye appeal is outstanding.

1857 N-4 R1 Small Date. PCGS graded MS-63 Red & Brown. CAC. Lustrous bright original mint red just starting to fade to steel brown on the highpoints, 90% of the original color remaining. The notable marks are a small splash of light chocolate toning near the hair under star 7 and a couple tiny spots of dark steel toning at the stem end. The coronet tip is not fully struck and there are very shallow low spots inside the wreath caused by minor debris stuck on the die. Otherwise this cent is a solid gem. MDS, die state b. The fine die line from star 1 to the dentils at the left is gone but the short point down from the bottom of the inner segment of the hair bun is clear. A beautiful example of the small date version of our final year of large cent production. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31568. Graded MS70 by Ted Naftzger, and it was housed in a PCGS holder graded MS64RB when we sold it in our sale of the Naftzger late date cents (9/7/2009:1303). Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65, and CC#1 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer: 4 in 64, 1 in 65. (PCGS # 403970) Value $4,000 - UP
