1846 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1846 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Highly lustrous bright mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints, about two thirds of the original color remaining, mostly on the reverse which is nearly full red. The satiny mint frost is unbroken and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. There are faint hints of an old fingerprint on the upper part of the obverse, but the notable flaw on this cent is an imperfect strike. The stars are weakly impressed and the coronet over LIB is flat, which is typical of the variety (but it does come better struck--see the previous example). EDS, die state a, with an uncracked reverse. Called MS65 and finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #31321. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
