Lot 75
1840 N-3 R1 Small Date PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty medium steel brown with a hint of underlying reddish steel brown faded from mint color bleeding through in the fields and protected areas. A tiny spot of dark toning on the front edge of the nose before the eye is the only notable mark, and it is barely visible. The toning is attractive but this cent may have been dipped long ago and nicely retoned over time. MDS, die state b. The lump under the right end of the base of the 1 is dull but clearly visible. The hair at the top of the ear is not quite fully struck up but everything else is sharp. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#9 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer in BN. Estimate Value $400 - UP
