1843 N-2 R1 Petite Head, Small Letters PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with a hint of bluish steel overtone. Peeps of mint red remain visible in protected areas on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal.

EDS, die state a, with a small but strong triangular lump under the right side of the 1. Our grade is MS63. Tied for CC#3 of the variety but finest of the early die state in the Grellman census.
