Lot 232
1851 N-1 R3 Repunched 1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of mint color remaining visible on the obverse while 15% of the reverse shows faded mint red. This cent is satiny and lustrous, and the eye appeal is excellent. The only notable marks are two small, light horizontal nicks left of the ear and a couple more nicks hidden in the dentils at star 4. MDS, die state b. The die lines left of star 4 are strong and the repunching on the base of the first 1 is sharp, but the diagonal die lines in the field around the date are gone. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. The Conour provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $400-UP
