Lot 601
1853 N-26 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous medium steel brown and light chocolate. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and the eye appeal is excellent. The notable marks are a couple tiny spots of darker chocolate brown toning above star 8 and a few tiny rim nicks over NITE. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. All the fine die lines and points at ON and CEN in ONE CENT are clear. Our grade is MS60+. Tied for CC#9 honors in the Grellman census for the variety but third finest of the early die state. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Pop 2; 3 finer, 2 in 66, 1 in 67. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
