Date: 1847Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate brown with slightly faded mint red covering about 15% of both sides. Nearly flawless with only a few microscopic marks, but the planchet is covered with a very thin coating of wax or "Care" that is evident in some of the protected areas. A proper bath might be in order for this cent. A tiny horizontal nick on the lower half of the 7 in the date is the best identifying mark. Sharply struck with full radial lines in all the stars and crisp dentils on both sides. LDS, die state d, with a small but clearly defined rim cud over the R in AMERICA. Called MS62 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #31505. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. This cent was given to Ted Naftzger by Abe Kosoff as commission for cataloging the Admiral Bitler collection for sale in 1961, and Naftzger noted this fact on his collection envelope. The attribution and Naftzger provenance are noted on the PCGS label. (The holder is scuffed.)37298.64/18900155Ex Sheraton, Boston, 1947-Admiral Worthington S. Bitler 4/1961-R. E.
