Lot 607
1848 N-8 R3-. MS-60 Plus. Lustrous light olive and chocolate brown with 10% of the planchet covered with slightly faded mint red. Excellent eye appeal with only a few barely visible contact marks. These include a tiny pinprick under star 8 and a few microscopic ticks between stars 9 & 10. Sharply struck LDS, die state f, with numerous fine die cracks around the reverse legend. A beautiful cent with choice eye appeal, CC#5 in the Grellman census. And it comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
