Lot 622
1841 N-1 R5 PCGS graded PR65 Red & Brown. Original mint red mellowing to bluish steel on the highpoints, at least 80% of the red remaining. Essentially a flawless example except for a couple faint horizontal hairlines in the field close under the bust tip and a barely visible tick on the right side of the O in OF. No spots, stains, or other flaws. The fields are smooth and very reflective and the eye appeal of this cent is superb in every respect. Called Proof-65 and finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #30863. Our grade is Proof-65+, close to Proof-66, and finest known in the Grellman census. An outstanding cent that has been proudly nestled into the Naftzger collection for over 60 years.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
