1853 N-2 R3. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Beautiful lustrous bluish steel and chocolate brown with generous traces of mint red remaining visible on the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding for the grade. The notable marks are a speck of verdigris low on the neck and a carbon spot on the left side of the U in UNITED. Otherwise this cent is absolutely choice. E-MDS, die state a. The die line at the throat is dull but clear. Our grade is MS62. Second finest known of the variety behind a marginally finer example in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 66. Estimated Value $500-UP.
