1849 N-14 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1849 N-14 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel and light olive brown, half the red showing on the obverse, 80% on the reverse. The luster and mint color on the obverse are slightly subdued while the reverse is highly lustrous and the red is bright. The only marks are wholly inconsequential and require a strong glass to find. A speck of darker toning under the right top of the I in UNITED can help identify this cent. M-LDS, die state c. The vertical line inside the triangle of the 4 that is found in earlier states is gone and the obverse fields are covered with fine die polishing lines down to the left of vertical, strongest around the curl at star 13. Called MS65 and CC#1 by 4 points in the Noyes census, his photo #30736. Our grade is MS64+, CC#1 by a small margin in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
