Lot 563
1847 N-32 R4. MS-62. Frosty medium brown with 20-25% of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. Great eye appeal and only a couple trivial marks, close to choice. The best identifying marks are a thin diagonal streak of darker toning in the field left of star 11 and a tiny diagonal nick left of the earlobe. LDS, die state f, with a clear rim cud break over TES. Tied for CC#4 for the variety but tied for CC#2 of those known with the cud. In addition, this cent is one of the cents pictured inside the back cover of the second edition of the Grellman/Reiver attribution guide for the late date cents. It is the uppermost coin on the left page.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
