Lot 647
1843 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Petite Head with Small Letters Reverse. Slightly faded mint red blending to steel and chocolate brown on the devices, about a third of the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. Nearly flawless, a tiny nick-like planchet chip in the field over star 2 and a small, very faint spot of darker toning just left of the date are the best identifying marks, and they are visible only with the aid of a strong glass. Excellent cartwheel luster and great eye appeal. E-MDS, die state a late. The lump under the right end of the base of the 1 is dull but visible and there is a clear rim cud break over UN plus a tiny one over the junction of the NI. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31014. Our grade is MS65, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
