1840 N-2 R2 Small 8 over Large 8 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate, the reverse a few shades lighter than the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers this very attractive cent. The only marks are a bit of very fine carbon at the second S in STATES and above the F in OF. Otherwise this cent is choice. MDS, die state b, showing a thin but clearly defined rim cud break under 840 to star 13. The Small 18 over Large 18 feature is bold. A beautiful example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 1 finer in 66 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,500-UP

Ex Howard Aubin, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/2012:716-Fred Iskra Collection (lot ticket included).
