1853 N-8 R3 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Slightly faded mint red mellowing to light steel brown with more than half the mint color remaining. Close to gem except for a small spot of carbon between the 8 & 5 in the date and some darker toning at ED in UNITED. Rare EDS, die state a, with die lines from the dentils at stars 2-3 and star 10. A sharp, impressive cent. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 2; tied for the finest MSRB examples graded at both services for the variety. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
