1851 N-1 R1. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Choice lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints, nearly two-thirds of the original red remaining. A beautiful cent, essentially flawless. A tiny spot of darker steel toning over the hair bun and another even smaller one hidden on the berry under the R in AMERICA are the only marks, and they are microscopic. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The strong vertical die lines left of star 4 are bold and the diagonal lines around the date are clear. Our grade is consistent with the PCGS grade. CC#1 for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label (PCGS # 406654) . Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Doug Bird 5/2011-Doug Durasoff. Categories: Liberty Cents
