Lot Description
Lot 432 1846 N-4 R1 Repunched Date NGC graded MS63 Brown.Frosty olive and bluish steel brown with mellowed mint red covering about 15% of both sides. Sharply struck and it looks choice to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals extremely fine planchet striations on both sides (as struck). The only striations visible to the unaided eye are a couple near the dentils left of stars 4 & 5. Otherwise this cent essentially is flawless. M-LDS, die state c. The fine die cracks at OF and MER are present but the rim cud on the obverse has not formed. The repunching on the date is clearly visible on all 4 digits. Our grade is MS60. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $375 - UP Ex Douglas F. Bird-Bob Willoughby Collection.
