Lot 629
1841 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Bright original mint red blending to light steel brown on the highpoints, 75% of the original color remaining. A beautiful, highly lustrous cent. The only mark of any significance is a small spot of very shallow carbon in the field over star 2. MDS, die state b. The strong die lines down behind the head are clear but the fine ones of the early state over TE in STATES and ER in AMERICA are gone. The strike is typical for the variety: slightly weak along the upper edge of the coronet over LIB, on the lowest curl, and on the lower portion of the wreath. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30919. Our grade is MS64+, very close to MS65, and CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
