Lot 885
1854 N-14 R2 Repunched 4. PCGS graded MS-64+ Red. CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous bright original mint red just starting to mellow to light steel brown on the highpoints, 90% of the mint color remaining on both sides. The surfaces of this cent are virtually flawless and it offers exceptional eye appeal. The only marks are some microscopic specks of darker steel toning scattered over the obverse including one on the right edge of the nostril. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils over NI in UNITED are gone and the repunching inside the triangle of the 4 is dull but visible. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer. The only example graded by PCGS for the variety. (PCGS # 406102) .
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
