Lot 68
1846 N-2 R2 Small Date, Repunched 1 PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Mint frost shows in the protected areas and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. No spots or stains, only a few microscopic ticks, none notable. MDS, die state b late or c early. The repunching to the left of the 1 is still clear but there is a fine die crack through the top of OF to the dentils over the adjacent A in addition to the earlier die crack at MER. This cent offers proof that the crack at OF occurs before die lapping removed the vertical repunching left of the 1. Our grade is AU50. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer, 1 in 63, 1 in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $200-UP
