Lot 803
1847 N-32 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous steel and light olive brown with very faded mint color bleeding through in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent is virtually flawless except for the strike, which is relatively weak in places. The stars, coronet over LIB, and some of the leaves in the wreath are poorly impressed. The only mark that could serve to help identify this cent is a faint vertical hairline scratch down through the right side of the T in CENT into the leaf below. EDS die state a. The reverse die is uncracked and the fine die finishing lines are clear. Called MS60 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #31137. Our grade is MS60+, CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
