1851 N-33 R4 MS62. First 1 Repunched. Lustrous steel and light olive brown with underlying faded mint color covering a third of the obverse. The reverse displays traces of mint color, but it also has a reddish steel stain at ON that reaches up to the two berries above. This stain is a significant distraction but the remainder of the cent is very choice. The only additional defect is a rim nick at the A in STATES. MDS, die state b early. The repunching on the first 1 remains visible but it is weak. Our grade is MS62, CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $400-UP.

Lot 1205
1851 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate brown. The surfaces are satiny and attractive, but there is an obvious carbon spot on the ER in LIBERTY and two less-significant spots of dark toning at the dentils above ES in STATES. Otherwise this cent offers nice eye appeal. MDS, die state a late. The points down from the bases of the E & N in CENT are dull but several remain visible. Our grade is MS60. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS in BN.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
