1853 N-16 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1853 N-16 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous very faded mint red shifting to bluish steel brown and chocolate, at least half the planchet showing faded mint color. No spots or stains, but there is a nick on the chin and a couple contact marks in the field over star 1. A speck of dark toning at the tip of the inner curl can help identify this cent, but you need a glass to see it. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The fields are hard and very slightly reflective on both sides thanks to the new dies, and those fields are covered with fine die polishing lines. In spite of the new dies, clear die clashmarks show at the throat and at the left top of the O in ONE. Called AU55 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, his photo #30763. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
