1847 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1847 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous bright original mint red blending to steel brown on the highpoints, two-thirds of the original red remaining. No spots or stains. A thin horizontal nick high on the cheek and a tick on the chin are the only marks that keep this cent from an unqualified gem grade. Nicely struck with full radial lines in all the stars. M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #16). The die lines at the inner curl are gone and a clear clashmark extends into the field from the lower edge of the neck. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31671. Our grade is MS64+, very close to MS65, and CC#2 in the Grellman census. Called MS70 by Ted.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
