Lot 841
1848 N-7 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous mellowed mint red gently shifting to reddish steel and light olive creating a truly beautiful cent. About a third of the very faded red remains, but it is difficult to assign a percentage of red because it is impossible to draw a distinction between the faded red and the toning. The only mark is a tiny speck of darker toning resting on the top of the C in CENT. E-MDS, die state b, with the tiny lump on the curl over the second 8 (as seen on nearly all of this variety). Called MS63 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30514. Our grade is MS65, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
