1849 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1849 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous steel brown faded down from mint color, 20% of the original red remaining, mostly on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent delivers outstanding eye appeal. A thin diagonal nick on the front edge of the neck and a small splash of darker steel toning on the left edge of the first T in STATES are the notable marks. E-MDS, die state i. The crumbling on the reverse has advanced so it now connects the C in CENT to the berry on the left and crumbling shows on the upper edge of the berry left of the O in ONE. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31030. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
