Lot 877
1848 N-28 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Glossy steel and light chocolate brown with traces of very faded mint color remaining in protected areas on both sides. A couple small splashes of darker toning at the dentils over star 5 and a tick on the right top of the F in OF are the notable marks. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. Several of the die lines at ON in ONE reach the EN in CENT without interruption. Great eye appeal, hence the PCGS grade assigned, but there is a touch of rub on the highest points of the design that keep this cent from a mint state grade by our standards. Called AU55 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, his photo #55052. Our grade is AU58, tied for CC#13 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Davis Graves Sale, Stack's 4/8/54:1760-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/84:566.
