1854 N-21 R2 Repunched 185 MS60. This is a lustrous mint state cent that is covered with a thin layer of lacquer to protect the frosty red color that covers nearly all of the planchet. Coating red cents was a popular practice among copper collectors long ago, but not today. Fortunately the coating can be removed without doing harm to the coin. The color is attractive and appears to be original, but you really can't be sure until the lacquer is removed. The only marks are a spot of dark toning in the dentils over star 10 and a smaller one right of star 3, plus a similar spot on the tip of the leaf over O in ONE. E-MDS, die state b. The repunching under the 185 is clear and delicate die clashmarks show in the field close behind the main curl and right of the E in ONE. Tied for CC#14 in the Grellman census. DWH #3593. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Willard C. Blaisdell date set 9/76 (via Del Bland)-R. E. Naftzger, Jr., McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/7/2009:1217.
