1839/6 N-1 R3+ Overdate 9 over 6, PCGS graded AU53Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with subtle overtones of light steel. This cent may have been lightly cleaned and expertly retoned long ago, but it looks great now. The obverse fields are smooth and slightly reflective while the reverse is frosty thanks to the previously-used reverse die employed to make this variety. Obviously among the earliest strikes from this die pair. There is some microscopic roughness at the leaves under OF and the only notable contact marks are a small nick right of star 4 and a tiny pinprick in the field left of star 9. EDS, die state a, with an uncracked obverse. The overdate feature is sharp and bold. Called AU50 net EF45 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes photo #38359. Our grade is EF45. A sharp, very impressive example of this popular overdate and "Redbook" variety. And it comes with a nice provenance. (The reverse of the holder is scuffed.)Certificate Number: 37261.53/15115708Pedigree: Ex Dr. James O. Sloss 9/1958-R. E.
