1842 N-8 R1 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty bluish steel and olive with ample faded mint color showing in protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only notable marks are a spot of slightly darker toning right of the date, another hidden in the hair over the E in LIBERTY, and one across the top of the second T in STATES. MDS, die state b. The die lines joining ONE and CENT are gone but the point up to the right from the right top of the E in CENT is clear. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 1 finer in 66 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
