Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1853 N-20 R3 Boldly Repunched 53 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Choice lustrous steel brown and light chocolate. Peeps of mint red remain visible on both sides and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only mark is a thin vertical nick on the cheek right of the nostril. E-MDS, die state b early. The fine die lines at RI in AMERICA are gone but the repunching under the 53 remains obvious. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
