Lot 618
1856 N-7 R2 Upright 5. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate brown and steel with a subtle swipe of darker olive brown toning on the obverse. The only marks are a shallow low spot (caused by debris on the die) from star 8 to star 11 and a small nick on the rim under the 8 in the date. This cent would be choice if not for the mint-made low spot. M-LDS, die state c early. The fine die crack from the bust tip is visible. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 64.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
