1852 N-14 R1 Repunched Date. NGC graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Mellowed mint red fading to steel brown and chocolate with at least 20% of the planchet showing underlying mint color. The only marks are a couple tiny specks of darker toning in the field under the hair bun and another on the crossbar of the E in ONE. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The die lines from the dentils at star 2 are sharp and repunching shows on all 4 digits of the date. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. NGC population 1; none finer. The only example graded as RB by NGC for the variety.
