Lot 1087
1852 N-1 R1 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Repunched 185. Glossy light chocolate brown with olive toning in protected areas on the obverse. Attractive flowline luster covers the fields on both sides and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. Essentially flawless except for the usual weakness in the dentils due to the later die state. A speck of lighter reddish brown toning just right of star 6 is a good identifying mark, but it is visible only with the aid of a glass. M-LDS, die state c. The repunching under the 1 is faint but visible but the repunching on the 8 & 5 is gone. Additional die cracks now show across the lower part of the bust and on the reverse. Called MS60 and tied for CC#16 in the Noyes census, his photo #55137. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#12 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
