Description

1853 1C MS65 Red PCGS. N-25, R.1. The recut base of the 1 in the date, a mint-made spur from a denticle near the first star, and a spike from the berry left of the C in CENT confirm this more available variety. The 3 in the date is lightly repunched at the base. This example is a lustrous, bright orange Gem with relatively well preserved surfaces and a sharp central strike. Some star centrils are weak; others do not show. Softness is also apparent in Liberty's lowest hair curls and in the leaf ribbing at the top of the wreath. A slightly darker toning area is noted around the E of STATES. Attractive overall. MRB MS64. Population: 58 in 65 Red, 14 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 226K, PCGS# 1903, Greysheet# 1170)
