1855 N-7 R1 Upright 55 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light olive and chocolate with traces of faded mint red on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and free of spots or stains. The only marks are a dull nick on the cheek, another on the coronet over T in LIBERTY, and a tick on the peak of the 1 in the date. Only the nick on the cheek is visible to the unaided eye. M-LDS, die state c, showing a fine die crack at UN to the dentils above the N. Our grade is MS60+ but it has the eye appeal of a higher grade. Comes with a nice provenance for a late date large cent. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $300 - UP
