1851 N-30 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown.
1851 N-30 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown. Very attractive and highly lustrous mint red mellowing to bluish steel and light olive brown on the highpoints. The obverse retains 90% of the slightly faded mint color while the reverse is more faded and shows about two-thirds of the subdued red. This cent is flawless, or at least as close as you could reasonably expect to come to that with a copper cent this old. A small, faint spot of darker bluish steel toning midway between stars 11 & 12 is the only identifying mark. M-LDS, die state b late. The dies are heavily worn and flowlined, especially the obverse, but several of the tiny points up from the top of ENT remain visible. Called MS66 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30549. Our grade is MS66, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
