1853 N-31 R4+ PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1853 N-31 R4+ PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous bright mint red fading to bluish steel and olive brown on the highpoints, at least two-thirds of the original color still showing. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent offers exceptional eye appeal. The only marks are a few microscopic specks of darker toning, including one between the T & A in STATES that can help identify this cent. Nicely struck MDS, die state b. The die lines at RI in AMERICA are dull but clearly visible and the field outside the wreath is slightly roughened by die wear. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30827. Our grade is MS65+, CC#1 in the Grellman census. Both census takers list only 3 examples in mint state grades, so this is a tough one.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
