1851/81 1C N-3, R.1, MS66+ Brown PCGS. CAC. The date was initially entered inverted, a die punching blunder later repeated on a 1865-S ten dollar variety. The 1851/81 cent is a Guide Book variety, and among the best known marriages of the Mature Head type. This high-grade example is designated as Brown, but substantial orange-gold color emerges from the legends, and outlines the stars, profile, and curls. The highpoints of the wreath display hints of cobalt-blue, and a small spot is concealed on the obverse dentils near 3 o'clock. Our EAC grade MS63.
