1855 Large Cent, MS65 Red
Upright 5s, N-4 Variety

1855 1C Upright 5s MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. N-4, R.1. Grellman Die State a. The 1855 N-4 cent is undoubtedly the most plentiful of all 1855 large cents. A substantial hoard of the early die state pieces once appeared, providing plenty of Mint State examples today, but seldom do specimens display the high quality of this piece. The design elements on both sides are boldly defined, and the surfaces have intense mint frosty with brilliant orange luster. Few marks are evident, and only the smallest flyspecks are visible, and those can only be seen with a glass. Population: 77 in 65 Red, 13 finer (3/11). MRB MS64.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 226M, PCGS# 1909, Greysheet# 1182)
