1853 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.
1853 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel brown. The obverse shows at least half of the mellowed mint color while the reverse is about 80% blazing original red fading to steel brown on the highpoints. No notable spots or stains, only a few light contact marks. These are located on the throat, on the cheek left of the earlobe, and on the rim under the 1 in the date. None of these contact marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils at star 2 are gone and the usual die crack through the top of UNITED STATES is clear. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30718. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
