Lot 868
1848 N-23 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and very attractive with only a few trivial marks. These include a tiny nick on the end of the chin and a small spot of slightly darker chocolate toning over star 10. In spite of the excellent eye appeal of this cent, it is not mint state since light friction shows on the highest points of the design. EDS, die state a. Crumbling surrounds stars 2-6, as always, but the rest of the fields are smooth and the die line from the first S in STATES to the top of E in CENT is clear. Called AU55 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #55070. Our grade is AU50 choice, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
