Lot 657
1854 N-12 R2 Repunched 1 NGC graded MS65 Brown. Attractive lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides, especially on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and the eye appeal is outstanding. The best identifying mark is a faint, nearly vertical long nick down from the inner point of star 10. MDS, die state b. The repunching under the upright of the 1 is dull but still visible. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 among the business strikes in the Grellman census. Housed in an older generation NGC holder. Estimate Value $800 - UP
