1853 N-13 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red.
1853 N-13 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red. Repunched 1. Frosty bright mint red just beginning to fade to light steel brown on the highpoints, 85% of the original color remaining. No notable spots or stains, only faint abrasions on the obverse. A light vertical scuff in the field just left of star 12 is the best identifying mark. The reverse is essentially flawless. M-LDS, die state b. The points from the left side of the E in CENT have worn off the die but the repunching along the base of the 1 is clear. This is the often seen hoard die state for the variety, but the example offered here is especially nice. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30900. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
