1846 N-5 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Repunched Date. Lustrous steel and light olive brown. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost that remains unbroken. Great eye appeal. No spots or stains, just a few trivial ticks on the rims. The best identifying mark is a tiny planchet flake on the upper half of the I in UNITED, as struck. MDS, die state c, displaying a thin rim cud break at star 11 and fine die polishing lines down through ES in STATES. The repunching is visible on all 4 digits of the date, strongest under the base of the 1. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
