Lot 894
1852 N-22 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous light olive and bluish steel with 20% of the mint color remaining. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. No spots, stains, or contact marks. The best identifying mark is a microscopic planchet flake in the field close to the curl on the shoulder (as struck). M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #9). Some of the die lines from the inner curl are still visible and there are a couple light die cracks on the obverse but the reverse remains uncracked. A nice cent. Our grade is MS63+, very close to MS64. Value $775 - UP
