1845 N-8 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty bright mint red fading to light steel brown, nearly two-thirds of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. A spot of dark toning in the field left of star 11 is the only obvious defect, but there are a few additional specks of similar toning elsewhere on the obverse plus a few tiny contact marks, including a dull nick on the eyebrow and a thin diagonal nick under the N in ONE. M-LDS, die state c. The vertical line inside the triangle of the 4 is faint and there is a small lump in the space right of the Y in LIBERTY. Called MS64 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #31610. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500 - 1.
