Lot 324
1843 N-6 R1 Mature Head, Repunched 18 PCGS graded AU58. Lightly cleaned and attractively retoned glossy light olive and chocolate with traces of very faded red in protected areas on the obverse. The notable marks are a couple tiny planchet voids on the rim at star 12 (as struck) and a few small spots of reddish brown toning under CENT. LDS, die state d, with a clearly defined rim cud break at star 13. The earlier rim cud at star 5 does not show because this cent was struck very slightly off center to K-10. An attractive example of a scarce die state. Our grade is AU50 sharpness net EF45. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 4 finer.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
