- Lot 494 1854 N-12 R2 Repunched 1 NGC graded MS64 Brown.Very attractive lustrous light olive and chocolate with 10% of the mint color showing on both sides. Virtually flawless except for the usual shallow low spot on the neck and another around CEN in CENT (both caused by debris on the die). The only marks, and they are barely visible, are two tiny ticks in the dentils over star 6. A frosty cent with great eye appeal. MDS, die state b. The repunching under the base of the 1 is dull but remains visible while the fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 honors among the business strikes of this variety.
