1842 N-6 R1 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Faded mint red mellowing to light steel brown, about a third of the faded red remaining. Looks perfectly flawless to the unaided eye, but a strong glass and just the right light angle reveals microscopic hairlines on the reverse thanks to a too vigorous brushing. The best identifying marks are a small splash of slightly darker steel toning at the bottom of the 1 and a few tiny specks of darker toning right of star 4. MDS, die state b. The lump in the field at the upper lip is weak but visible and the one at the lower curl is virtually gone. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 4 finer, 2 in 65, 2 in 66. Estimated Value $1,250-UP
