1851 N-20 R3 Both 1's Repunched, PCGS graded MS63 Brown
Very attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has mint state eye appeal. There is a touch of rub on the highest points of the devices. The only defect is a shallow planchet flake in the dentils over the I in UNITED. LDS, die state c. The tops of the C & E in CENT are joined by crumbling and the repunching is barely visible on the first 1, gone on the second (Newcomb's old #28). Our grade is AU55. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 406707.63/81762222 Ex Russell Wyatt, Superior 9/1985:821 (where cataloged as N-11)-Herman Halpern, Stack's 3/16/1988:671-Dr. Thomas S.
