1842 N-4 R2 Large Date PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty steel and light olive brown with underlying faded red covering at least 20% of both sides. Possibly lightly dipped long ago but the toning is attractive and the eye appeal is excellent. The only notable marks are a small spot of darker toning on the upper lip, a few microscopic ticks in the field before the portrait, and a few tiny nicks above the head between stars 6 & 7. The reverse is choice. Nicely struck M-LDS, die state b late, showing radial lines in all the stars. The fine die lines from the dentils over MERI are gone but the tiny point up to the left from the neck near the throat is still visible. Our grade is MS60+, CC#6 for the variety in the Grellman census. Comes with an impressive provenance. The attribution and Brown-Boka provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety at either service. Estimated Value $500-UP
