Lot 67
1846 N-1 R1 Small Date, Repunched 18 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty light golden olive brown and steel with a small splash of slightly darker reddish brown toning over star 10. Traces of light bluish steel and sea green overtones show in protected areas and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The only signs of contact are a few light nicks on the jaw. Very sharply struck M-LDS, die state c late, with clear die cracks on both sides. All the stars show complete, bold radial lines and the veins are visible in all the leaves. The repunching on the 18 remains obvious. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 5 finer, 1 in 63, 4 in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
