Lot 914
1853 N-27 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal.

A nice cent. Our grade is MS60. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Matthews Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 4 finer: 3 in 65, 1 in 66.
