Lot 911
1853 N-23 R4 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with bluish steel overtones and faded mint red in protected areas on the reverse. This cent has choice mint state eye appeal but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices. The only mark is a tiny pinprick on the rim below the right edge of the 1 in the date. MDS, die state b. The fields are covered with fine radial flowlines but the top of the stray 1 right of the ear is clear. Our grade is AU58. The attribution and Matthews Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer: 2 in 64, 1 in 64+, 1 in 65, 1 in 66. Value $300 - UP
