Lot 631
1841 N-7 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with traces of mint red showing on the reverse. Cartwheel luster shows through the gloss and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The surfaces are flawless and the strike is above average for the variety as most of the stars show full radial lines. A small, faint spot of darker toning on the neck near the middle curl is a good identifying mark, but it is easily missed. MDS, die state b. The small lumps under the 4 and first 1 are dull but clearly visible and the delicate repunching on the top of the 18 is still visible, strongest on the top of the 1. The fine die crack from star 8 down towards the hair is present but far from clear as it never becomes strong. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30914. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
