Lustrous original mint red shifting to steel and light olive on the devices, nearly half the red remaining, mostly on the obverse where the bright mint color dominates. Great eye appeal, but there are a few minor marks. These include a splash of dark steel toning (not carbon) from the top of the hair bun to star 9 and a less-obvious spot of olive toning at the right corner of the eye. The reverse has two minor, mint-made flaws: a small planchet flake over the right top of the N in UNITED and a faint planchet lamination crease up from the dentils under the wreath into the ribbon above where it fades away. Otherwise this cent is a solid gem. MDS, die state b early. There is fine die rust in the obverse fields and the points up from the top of the E in AMERICA are faint. The strong die line under that E is dull but still clear. In addition, the strike at the top of the ear is nearly full, about the best you ever get on this variety. Noyes photo #31023. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger provenance are noted on the PCGS label. And it comes with a nice provenance. Population 2; none finer at PCGS.

A tiny tick in the field right of star 4 and a few shallow low spots at the T in CENT (as struck) are the best identifying marks. LDS, die state d (Newcomb's old #13). The points up from the top of the N in ONE are gone and the rim cud under the 1 in the date does not show due to a narrow rim in that area. Our grade is MS64+, very close to MS65, and CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. A great example of this popular "Redbook" type.

Lot 833		1844 N-5 R1 Repunched 844. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous bright original mint red fading to steel brown on the devices, at least 75% of the original color remaining. No spots, stains, or contact marks worthy of mention, but the strike is not perfect. There is weakness on the coronet over LIB, which is rather common for the die variety, but there are a few shallow low spots caused by debris on the obverse die, which is not as common. The notable low spots are in the field at the top of the bust and along the dentil tips around much of the obverse. All these defects are mint made, but they do adversely affect the overall eye appeal of this otherwise fantastic cent. E-MDS, die state b early, with a fine die crack through the top of UNITED extending to the dentils left of the U. None of the other die cracks associated with die state b has formed on this example. The repunching on the 844 is clear, strongest on the first 4. Called MS66 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31601. Our grade is MS64+, CC#1 in the Grellman census.

The notable spots are one in the hair under star 8, another hidden at the top of the B in LIBERTY, and a tiny one over the right point of star 3. The only sign of contact is a thin, light diagonal nick in the field midway between the chin and star 1. Sharply struck EDS, die state a.

Lot 846		1848 N-2 R2 Boldly Repunched 18. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. The obverse is lustrous mint red fading to bluish steel brown, especially above the head, and about two-thirds of the mint color remains. The reverse is lustrous bright original mint red just starting to fade on the highpoints; essentially full red. This cent is flawless in terms of spots or contact marks, but the inconsistent toning on the obverse is a distraction that keeps this cent from an even higher grade. MDS, die state b (Reiver's old #45), with crumbling nestled between the loops on the left side of the second 8. The points down from the base of the E in ONE are sharp.
