Lot 1202
1851 N-33 R4 MS62. First 1 Repunched. Lustrous steel and light olive brown with underlying faded mint color covering a third of the obverse. The reverse displays traces of mint color, but it also has a reddish steel stain at ON that reaches up to the two berries above. This stain is a significant distraction but the remainder of the cent is very choice. The only additional defect is a rim nick at the A in STATES. MDS, die state b early. The repunching on the first 1 remains visible but it is weak. Our grade is MS62, CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
