Lot 551
1846 N-10 R4. PCGS graded MS-63 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to olive and chocolate brown with 15% of the red remaining on the obverse, 25% on the reverse. The only marks are specks of darker toning on the bottom of the wreath. This cent would rate a significantly higher grade if the strike was better. The profile, stars, shoulder, and many of the leaves in the wreath are softly impressed. MDS, die state a, before any rim cud breaks on the obverse. Our grade is MS60, CC#3 in the Grellman census for this tough die variety.
Estimated Value $650-UP.
