Lot 809
1847 N-36 R5+ PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Choice glossy light chocolate brown with frosty mint luster showing in protected areas. This cent is virtually perfect, especially for a piece that has seen some light circulation (and the choice mint state grade assigned by PCGS attests to the outstanding eye appeal offered by this cent). The best identifying mark is a small spot of darker toning on the right bottom of the 8 in the date. MDS. The attribution points are strong. Called EF40 and CC#1 by 10 points over the next best piece in the Noyes census, his photo #31160. Our grade is EF40+, very close to EF45, and CC#1 by a small margin in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
