Lot 702
1843 N-11 R2. MS-63. Obverse and Reverse of 1842. Repunched 184. Lustrous mellowing mint red fading to bluish steel and olive brown, at least a third of the mint color remaining. This cent is virtually flawless except for a splash of dark toning under the E in CENT and a couple smaller ones at TA in STATES. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent. MDS, die state c early. A die crack extends from the rim through the I in AMERICA to the wreath but goes no farther. Repunching remains visible on the 184. Tied for CC#3 honors in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
