Lot 1239
1855 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red. Blazing bright original mint red, only a couple tiny wisps of dark steel toning on the reverse from 100% red. A dull scuff high on the neck just under the jawline and a spot of toning inside the E in AMERICA are the best identifying marks on this impressive cent. Great luster and eye appeal. A truly impressive, fresh-looking example of this relatively common hoard coin. EDS, die state a, without any die cracks or cuds. Called MS64 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #31132. Our grade is MS66, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
