Lot 147
1856 N-1 R1 Italic 5 PCGS graded MS64+ Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown with nearly half the coin showing mint color, mostly on the obverse. Just a few trivial marks from flawless. A puff of slightly darker toning under star 9 and a thin nick on the rim over the A in STATES are the best identifying marks. E-MDS, die state a late. The die lines over UN are dull and weak but still visible, and the fields on both sides are covered with fine flowlines. Very shallow low spots caused by debris on the die show around NE and ENT in ONE CENT. A very attractive cent. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $700 - UP
