Lot 805
1847 N-32 R4 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown on the devices, at least two-thirds of the red remaining. This is a gem cent except for a pair of thin, nick-like planchet voids on the jaw, as struck. These two marks catch your eye and, in spite of their mint-made status, they do detract from the otherwise outstanding eye appeal this cent brings to the table. Rare LDS, die state f, with a strong rim cud break over TES in STATES. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 overall in the Noyes census, his photo #31545. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 overall but finest of 16 examples known with the rim cud according to the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
