Lot 1018
1851 N-1 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Repunched 18. Frosty mint red fading to steel and light olive, half the mint red remaining. There are specks of darker toning scattered over both sides, none notable. The only real defects on this otherwise choice red & brown cent are faint abrasions in the field around the date and before the neck. MDS, die state b. The repunching on the 1 is clear but nearly gone on the 8, and the die lines over the N in UNITED are dull but visible. Called MS60 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #55026. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
