1855 Upright 55 NGC MS-65 RB.
|
|
Sensational gem red luster whirls and twirls about the obverse, and were both sides this shade of blazing brick-red, it would nearly be some kind of wonder coin. As it is, the reverse is not red at... |

1855 NGC MS-63 BN.

1855 (Upright 55, N-8) PCGS MS-63BN.
|
|
Attribution of the "upright 55" is made easy by looking at where the lowest curl points, which in this case is directly between "85" in the date. The PCGS insert does not state N-8. The obverse... |

1855 Upright 55, N-4. NGC MS-65 BN.
|
|
N-4 is one of the easiest common die-marriages to attribute for 1855, narrowed quickly in attribution by the upright digits, and further defined by the raised die lumps quickly noticed on the... |

1855 "Upright 55" PCGS MS-63 BN.
|

1855 "upright 55" AU and 1855 "slanted 55, knob on ear" XF.
|
|
Large-cents for 1855 have two distinct logotypes for the final digits, upright 5s, and slanted 5s (which we might call "italicized" today), and both are represented here. The 1855 "upright 55" grades... |

1855 Slanted 55, PCGS MS-62 BN.
|

1855 NGC MS-65 Red.
|
|
Have you ever seen a large cent this red? Most new, right off the press coppers do not display the brilliance, luster, or depth of red that this beauty has. Red is an understatement of the red this... |

1855 MS-63 Red.

1855 Slanting 5s. MS-63 RB.
