Lot 385
1847 N-1 R2 Repunched Date. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. CAC. Highly lustrous bluish steel and light olive with generous traces of faded mint red covering about 10% of the planchet. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and the eye appeal is superb. Just a few trivial marks including a small nick or planchet chip on the eyebrow over the right edge of the eye and a small spot of slightly darker toning (not carbon) right of star 13. M-LDS, die state c, with die cracks on the reverse but no rim cud. The repunching on the date is weak but still visible at the left base of all 4 digits. Our grade is MS63+, close to MS64, and CC#2 for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 finer in 66. (PCGS # 37268) Value $1,300 - UP
