1853 N-16 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1853 N-16 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Frosty faded mint red changing to steel and light olive on the highpoints, more than half the faded red remaining, especially on the reverse. The surfaces are lustrous but not as much as you might expect from a cent with this so much mint color. The only marks are microscopic and do not detract at all. These include a small nick-like planchet chip left of the earlobe and a similar mark in the field off the chin, plus a speck of dark steel toning over the T in CENT. E-MDS, die state a. The die clashmarks at the throat and over the O in ONE are visible but fading. Sharply struck with fully impressed devices throughout. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30852. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
