LOT 522 1847 N-26 R3+ MS60. Lustrous light olive and chocolate. The fields are satiny, the strike is sharp, and this cent has great eye appeal. A small nick on the rim below star 13 is the only notable mark. MDS, die state c, with die cracks on the reverse but no rim cuds. Removed from an NGC holder graded MS64BN (NGC label #961928-001 included, and it shows the attribution)

LOT 524 1847 N-39 R3- AU58. Close to mint state but there is a small patch of microscopic reddish carbon left of the C in CENT. Frosty light chocolate and olive with 5% of the obverse and 20% of the reverse showing mellowed mint red. Sharply struck and void of contact marks. E-MDS, die state a late. The fine diagonal die line through the O in ONE is visible and the fields are lightly flowlined.
