Lot 65
1845 N-13 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty mint red fading to medium chocolate brown and steel with at least a third of the original mint color remaining visible, mostly on the reverse. The only notable marks are faint traces of an old fingerprint at stars 1-3, another under CENT, and a tiny nearly horizontal nick close under that E. MDS, die state a. Both dies are unbroken and the fields are satiny from microscopic radial die flowlines. A choice cent with outstanding eye appeal. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 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 $1,500-UP
