详细说明: Lot 306 1851 N-39 R3 NGC graded MS66 Red & Brown.Highly lustrous bluish steel brown with 10% of the mint red showing on the obverse, 20% on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the entire surface of this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and the eye appeal is superb. The only marks, and they are barely visible, are a small spot of slightly darker toning at the bust tip, a light tick on the cheek, and two tiny planchet flakes on the rim above the D in UNITED (as struck). Nicely struck except for some weakness in the dentils on the right side of the obverse. E-MDS, die state a, with a small bar near the dentils above star 3 and very fine radial flowlines in the fields. The early points from the inner and main curls are still visible. A truly beautiful cent that offers exceptional eye appeal. Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65, and CC#1 by a small margin in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the NGC label. NGC population 1; 1 finer in 67.Estimated Value $1,750 - UP Ex Bowers & Merena 8/2010:79-Kenneth Goodman, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/26/2014:865-Colonel Steven K.
