1852 N-17 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Repunched 1. Lustrous light olive and steel with delicate overtones of bluish steel on the obverse. Traces of faded mint color show on the obverse and at least 25% of the reverse shows bright original mint color. The surfaces are virtually flawless and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. A faint spot of slightly darker toning over star 2 is the best identifying mark. Sharply struck with full radial lines in all the stars and crisp details throughout the devices. E-MDS, die state b. The repunching under the base of the 1 is dull but visible and a strong lump shows on the left end of the crossbar of the E in ONE. Called MS63 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30548. Our grade is MS63+, CC#4 in the Grellman census.
