1848 N-11 R5 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty light bluish steel brown and olive with 25% of the mint red showing, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are lustrous and the eye appeal is excellent. Just a few small spots of darker toning scattered over the obverse, including a couple low on the neck and one at the dentils at star 9, plus a wisp of slightly darker toning around star 2. A tiny planchet flake in the dentils over the F in OF can help identify this cent. MDS, die state b, with a fine die crack through the top of ITE to the dentils over the adjacent D in addition to the earlier one through MERIC. Called MS63 and CC#1 of only 2 mint state examples known in the Noyes census, his photo #30834. Our grade is MS63, finest of only 2 mint state pieces in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
