Lot 368
1853 N-11 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous mint red mellowing to medium steel brown with at least a third of the planchet showing mint color. No spots or notable signs of contact, but a strong glass does reveals a few trivial ticks on the cheek and jaw. A wisp of darker bluish steel toning at TE in UNITED into the dentils above can help identify this cent. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines down from the left base of the N in CENT are nearly gone. Our grade is MS62+, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted n the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety. PCGS #406007. Estimate Value $500 - UP
