Lot 639
1855 N-7 R1 PCGS graded MS64+ Red & Brown, CAC approved. Lustrous bright original mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints, about 80% of the red remaining on both sides. A gem cent if not for a small spot of dark steel brown toning in the field above the tip of the nose and a very shallow low spot on the chin (caused by debris on the die). MDS, die state c. Common but very nice. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 of the variety in the Grellman census with one other example that has far less mint color. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; tied for finest at PCGS.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex 1982 ANA Sale, Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, 8/17/1982:72-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included).
