LOT 387 1855 N-10 R1 Italic 55 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown . Mint red mellowing to light steel brown with more than half the original mint color remaining on both sides. Sharply struck with reflective fields on both sides. A beautiful cent that must have been struck shortly following the certified “Proof” strikes of the variety. Just a few minor marks including a tiny planchet flake in the field before the lips, a light nick at the upper point of star 2, and a couple light nicks left of star 11. VEDS, die state a. Our grade is MS63+, very close to MS64. A great example of the “Slanting 5’s” type.
