1852 N-8 R2 MS64. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown with about two-thirds of the mint color remaining. No spots or stains, and the only defects are a very tiny nick on the nose before the eye and a shallow planchet void in the hair just above the ear (as struck). Otherwise this cent is flawless. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, before any die cracks. The fields on both sides are covered with fine die polishing lines and display a bit of reflectivity. A variety that is common in mint state but this is a nice one. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Chris McCawley 4/2003, The Northwest Collection. Categories: Test Category 7
