1847 N-3 R3 Repunched 7. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. Glossy light olive and bluish steel brown with underlying very faded mint red covering about 20% of both sides. This cent offers excellent eye appeal and it looks choice, but a glass reveals several small nicks on the E in CENT. LDS, die state e, with three small but clearly defined rim cud breaks on the reverse (Newcomb's old #33). The repunching on the 7 is gone. Our grade is MS60. Not in the overall condition census for the variety but CC#3 of the dozen or so examples known with the three rim cuds. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 65. (PCGS # 37271) .
Estimated Value $600-UP.
