1846 N-3 R2 Small Repunched Date PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous light olive brown and bluish steel with 15-20% of the mint red remaining on both sides. The only notable marks, and they are insignificant, are a tiny spot of darker toning in the field close to the throat and jaw and a pair microscopic struck-through lines: a diagonal one on the cheek right of the upper lip and a vertical one on the right end of the eyebrow (both as struck). EDS, die state a, with fine diagonal die lines connecting the lowest curl to star 13. Repunching is visible to the left of all 4 digits of the date, strongest on the 8 & 4. Noyes photo #37499. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
