Description
1857 N-3 Large Cent, PR65 Brown
Small Date
1857 1C Small Date PR65 Brown PCGS. CAC. N-3, Low R.5.
Representing the final year of Christian Gobrecht's Braided Hair
design is the proof-only 1857 N-3 Small Date cent. The obverse has
an inverted V-shaped die marker on the lower part of Liberty's bust
that provides immediate identification. Approximately 65 proofs of
this die variety are believed to exist today. A faint die crack is
visible from the nose to star 3, and another crack extends from the
coronet to star 7 and the border. This attractive proof has
intermingled lime-green and faded orange color. Reflective surfaces
host a few trivial abrasions, lint marks, and contact marks. This
Gem proof has underlying iridescence that enhances its aesthetic
desirability. Our EAC grade PR60+.Ex: Boston Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3033, which brought $9,775.(Registry values: P1)
