Lot 124
1847 N-32 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate with slightly lighter steel brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny, even the highpoints, and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks, and they are insignificant, are a tiny swipe of darker olive brown toning in the field under the hair bun, a tiny planchet flake in the field between star 1 and the chin (as struck), and some more low spots inside the wreath (all caused by debris on the die). EDS, die state a. The die lines are visible and the reverse is uncracked. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $750-UP
