1C 1849 PCGS MS65BN N-7 NAFTZGER

$3,950.00

This coin is totally SUPERB. Here is how it was described in the Naftzger sale:

Repunched 18. Extremely attractive frosty steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint color showing through on the obverse and at least 10% of the reverse showing original mint red. Fabulous eye appeal, virtually as struck. The surfaces are satiny and the obverse fields are covered with microscopic die rust, a characteristic of the late die state. The date and stars are sinking, and most of those stars display some crumbling. Finding any distinguishing marks presents quite a challenge, and a tiny speck of dark toning on the right side of the R in AMERICA will have to suffice for this purpose. A wonderful cent in a neat die state. LDS, die state g. In addition to the obverse die characteristics already described, there is crumbling around much of the reverse legend and wreath, including between the leaves under the berry left of the O in ONE. Called MS62 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30486. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census, the finest of only 5 known in mint state. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-Floyd T. Starr, Stack’s 6/13/84:606.
