Lot 884
1855 N-1 R3 Upright 55 PCGS graded MS65+ Brown. Lustrous medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a small spot of darker toning over star 8, another over star 9, and a tiny spot on the upper left part of the first 5 in the date. LDS, die state c. The short spike to the left from the lower half of the 8 is gone and the obverse fields and Ms Liberty's neck are covered with microscopic die roughness. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer at PCGS.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
