Lot 260
1846 N-6 R1 Small Date Repunched 46. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Choice frosty uniform light steel brown. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a tiny rim nick under star 1, a small spot of darker toning at the upper point of star 10, and a speck of carbon hidden at the left foot of the first T in in STATES. M-LDS, die state c. The fields are flowlined but the repunching under the 4 & 6 remains visible, clearest under the 6. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer. (PCGS # 403868) Value $750 - UP
