Lot 876
1848 N-27 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Beautiful bluish steel and light olive brown with ample faded mint color showing on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet, even the highest points of the devices. The only marks are a small spot of very fine carbon under the first 8 in the date and a tiny diagonal nick-like planchet void in the center of the cheek. Both of these marks are visible only with the aid of a strong glass and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. LDS, die state g, showing die cracks around most of the reverse legend. Called MS63 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30506. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
