Lot 25 - 1856 Large Cent N14 R1 Slanting 5. PCGS MS64RD
1856 Coronet Head Cent. Slanting 5. Newcomb-14. Rarity-1. Frosty mint red mellowing to light steel brown, at least two-thirds of the mint color remaining. The only defects are some tiny specks of darker toning sprinkled about both sides, only a few of these visible without a strong glass. The notable specks are one in the field between stars 6 & 7 and another at the top of the O in ONE. Scarce E-MDS, die state a late, showing traces of the top of a stray 1 punched into the field under the right side of the 8 in the date. The top of the coronet is not quite fully struck, but it is much stronger than usual for this variety. EAC grade MS63. (#1924)
