Shop - 1852 N-3 R-1 PCGS MS 65 RB Braided Hair Large Cent Coin 1c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded MS 65 RB. Lustrous medium steel brown with flashy bright original mint red showing on about a third of the obverse and nearly half of the reverse. The only notable marks are a very light diagonal nick on the jawline, an area of slightly darker toning between stars 9 & 10, and traces of an old fingerprint on the upper right quadrant of the reverse. None of these marks catches your eye and this cent has excellent eye appeal. M-LDS, die state b late. The base of the 1 is thin but not as thin as in the latest state, and the crack connecting the tops of the C & E in CENT is faintly visible. In addition the reverse is rotated 40 degrees CCW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
