Lot 819
1847 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous steel and light olive brown with at least 20% of the mint color remaining, although it has faded down a bit from its original brilliance. No spots or stains, only tiny ticks scattered over both sides, including a tick on the lower edge of the bust over the left side of the 8 (which can help identify this cent). M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #16). The die clashmark at the base of the neck is clear and the die lines at the inner curl are gone. Called AU55 in the Noyes census, his photo #31723. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#15 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
