Lot 828
1843 N-4 R1 Petite Head, Reverse of 1844. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous bluish steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides. A virtually flawless cent that offers exceptional eye appeal. A tiny tick in the field right of star 4 and a few shallow low spots at the T in CENT (as struck) are the best identifying marks. LDS, die state d (Newcomb's old #13). The points up from the top of the N in ONE are gone and the rim cud under the 1 in the date does not show due to a narrow rim in that area. Our grade is MS64+, very close to MS65, and CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. A great example of this popular "Redbook" type. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety. (PCGS # 403922) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
