Lot 259
1845 N-10 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Glossy light olive and steel with 15-20% of the faded mint red remaining visible. The only notable marks are very faint traces of an old fingerprint around star 7 and a couple tiny ticks over the left top of the N in CENT. M-LDS, die state b, with two die cracks up to the dentils from the left top of the E in CENT, but before the tiny cud break that fills the space between those cracks. A nice cent. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 3 finer in 65. (PCGS # 397767) Value $750 - UP
