1854 N-10 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown.
1854 N-10 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown. Very attractive lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints with 80% of the original color remaining. The only marks are insignificant specks of darker toning or microscopic ticks visible only with the aid of a strong magnifier. The best identifying marks are a tiny planchet chip on the center of the neck and a speck of toning between the tops of the 5 & 4. E-MDS, die state c early. The obverse is uncracked, and there is a very faint crack from the dentils through ED to the wreath below. The earlier crack through the C in AMERICA reaches NT in CENT but goes no farther. A beautiful, original cent. Not graded by Noyes, his photo #55140a. Our grade is MS66, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
