Lot 43
1842 N-9 R2 MS62. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with a couple tiny splashes of darker chocolate toning in the left obverse field. No contact marks, but there is a small planchet flake on the front edge of the eyebrow that can help identify this cent. MDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils over ER in AMERICA are gone and a small point has been added down from the base of N in ONE. Sharply struck and very attractive for the grade. CC#5 in the Grellman census. DWH #2022.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
