Lot 636
1842 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Large Date. Frosty steel and light olive brown with a third of the mint color showing, mostly on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. A couple faint spots of darker steel toning are located just above the 4 and there is another on the right foot of the T in CENT. Nicely struck EDS, die state a. The point from the neck and fine lines over ERI are clear. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30917. Our grade is MS65 as well, CC#1 by a small margin in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
