1843 N-6 R1 Mature Head with Repunched 18. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous mint red fading to steel brown and chocolate. At least a third of the planchet retains mint color. This cent is essentially flawless. The only mark is a very light diagonal nick in the field just right of the main curl. Sharply struck MDS, die state b, with a narrow but clearly visible rim cud break at star 13. The repunching at the bottom of the 18 remains visible. Our grade is MS65, finest known in the Grellman census. In addition this is the finest 1843 Mature Head Cent in that census regardless of the die variety. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Population 3; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 403944) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
