Lot 413
1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS63RB. PCGS graded MS-63 Red & Brown. Lustrous bright original mint red with splashes of dark steel on the obverse and traces of fingerprints in the obverse fields. A tiny planchet flake in the dentils under star 13 is a good identifying mark for this cent. MDS. The die crack through star 9 and the hair to the 83 extends to the rim under the 8 and an elongated internal cud break is positioned in the hair above the second 8. A clear rim cud break shows right of star 12 down almost to star 13. A neat intermediate die state for a variety with more cracks to come. Called MS65+ and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Our grade is MS63+. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
