Lot 136
1852 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red. Lustrous bright mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the devices with about 80% of the mint color remaining. The only marks are some microscopic specks of darker toning sprinkled over both sides and traces of an old fingerprint at CA to the end of the wreath stem. MDS, die state b, with the reverse rotated 45 degrees CCW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. A very impressive cent. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; tied for finest RD of the variety at both services. PCGS #147237. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
