Description

Carefully Preserved 1856 Large Cent, Upright 5

1856 1C Upright 5 MS67 Brown NGC. The glossy textured surfaces display striking definition that sharpens considerably toward the centers. All areas, however, are silent on the subject of grade-limiting blemishes. While medium brown toning dominates the outward appearance on both sides, the protected areas around the obverse devices reveal hints of original mint luster. One of only three 1856 Upright 5 Large Cents to have received an MS67 Brown grade at NGC (2/03).
