1842 N-2 R1 Small Date PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with faded mint color in protected areas, especially on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks, and they are quite faint, are a few barely visible hairlines on the cheek and neck plus two tiny specks of darker toning right of star 4. MDS die state b. The hub defects under the date are weak but visible and the die lines from the dentils over ERI in AMERICA are gone. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#13 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer, 4 in 64, 1 in 65+ for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $400-UP
