1834 N-5 R5 Large 8 & Stars, Medium Letters PCGS graded XF45

Glossy bluish steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are satiny and attractive, free of any distracting defects. The best identifying mark is a microscopic planchet lamination in the field off the nose tip (as struck). MDS. Both dies are worn and flowlined, as usual, because they were used in earlier marriages. An attractive example of this popular "Redbook" variety. The reverse of this cent is shown on Plate VII in the Newcomb book on the cents of 1816-57. Our grade is VF30+, close to VF35. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
