1847 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1847 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to olive and steel on the devices, at least half of the mellowed mint color remaining on both sides. This cent looks like a flawless gem, but a strong glass reveals very faint abrasions in the obverse fields, the strongest of these located left of star 11. MDS, die state b. The fine repunching off the left end of the base of the 4 that is found in the earliest state of this variety has been polished off the die but the die line down to the right from the dentils left of star 7 remains clear. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31541. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#9 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
