Description

1848 N-9 Cent, MS64+ Red
Tied for Finest Known

1848 1C MS64+ Red PCGS. CAC. N-9, R.1. Our EAC Grade MS66. Grellman Die State b with a crack through the tops of ME, but before the reverse rim breaks appear. The early die states are normal for this variety. This amazing cent has extraordinary, brilliant orange mint luster with frosty surfaces and bold design motifs. A small crescent-shaped lint mark, as struck, appears below the inner hair bun. This piece is equal to the Naftzger coin that Grellman grades MS67 and records as finest known, and it is clearly finer than the fourth finest Daniel Holmes coin graded MS64.
