Lot 528
1849 N-3 R3 MS62+. Very attractive lustrous chocolate brown and olive with generous traces of mint red remaining on both sides. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a tiny planchet chip (as struck) on the rim under the 4 and a speck of carbon nestled against the front edge of the chin. The reverse is flawless. M-LDS, die state q. There is crumbling on the left base of the I in UNITED but no crumbling connecting the O in ONE to the leaf at left. An impressive cent, very close to MS63 choice. CC#3 for the variety in the Grellman census and it comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
