Lot 1258
1855 N-13 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate brown. Sharply struck with great eye appeal and only a few tiny contact marks. A tick on the jaw over the throat and another over the left point of star 11, plus a tiny one on the rim at the bottom of the reverse are the only ones visible without help from a strong glass. The only real "defect" on this cent comes in the form of waxy dirt nestled into the most-protected areas on both sides. I suspect a bath would be helpful and the grade might improve accordingly. EDS, die state a. The reverse is covered with fine diagonal die lines and the fields are smooth on both sides. Called MS60 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #31625. Our grade is MS62+, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
