1851 N-38 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & BrownLustrous steel brown and light olive with about 25-30% of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. This cent is choice except for a subtle wisp of light reddish brown toning at stars 9-10 and another at F-A. Otherwise just a few trivial marks including a small carbon spot in the dentils over the left side of the M in AMERICA and a microscopic tick under the left base of the E in ONE. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state a. The fields have microscopic radial die flowlines, but the early points from the E & N in CENT are clear. A sharp, attractive cent in spite of the minor defects. Our grade is MS62+, very close to MS63, and tied for CC#8 for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.Certificate Number: 406768.65/81161840Pedigree: Ex Chris McCawley 6/1992-Gary M.
