Description du lot

Lot 492 1853 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown.Frosty mint red fading to steel brown on the devices. More than half of the obverse shows mellowed mint color while at least 80% of the reverse is covered with blazing original red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints. No notable spots or stains, only a few light contact marks. The notable marks are a light diagonal nick on the throat, another on the cheek left of the earlobe, and a small one on the rim under the 1 in the date. None of these contact marks is distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. M-LDS, die state b.
