1856 N-3 R1 Italic 5 MS62Beautiful lustrous bluish steel and reddish brown with traces of faded mint red on both sides. An incredibly sharply struck cent with the finest details fully impressed. The rims are squared, the fields are hard and very slightly reflective, and this cent has great eye appeal. Would rate a higher grade but there is a tiny pinprick in the field before the lips, a faint diagonal hairline on the chin, a speck of carbon over star 12, and a small chip out of the rim off the end of the wreath ribbon. VEDS, die state a late. The only example seen in this die state. The die crack from the ear to star 2 is extremely faint, even under magnification (an uncracked example is unknown). There is extensive strike doubling on the reverse with finely tripled outlines on a few letters. A special cent with a few imperfections.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex E K Coins (Lancaster, NY)-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection
