1840 N-4 R3 Small Date PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty olive brown and chocolate with traces of very faded mint red showing on the reverse. Sharply struck showing complete radial lines in all the stars. The only notable defects are a collection of thin, light nicks between star 10 and the hair bun and a small splash of very fine carbon at the dentil tips under star 12. E-MDS, die state b early. The die lines over ER in AMERICA are sharp and there are strong rim cud breaks from below the 18 to star 1 and two more from star 2 to star 3. The die defects under the date are clear (once thought to be evidence of a 40 over 39 overdate). Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 3 finer, 1 in 64, 1 in 64+, 1 in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP

Ex Chris McCawley, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 9/2003:882-Fred Iskra Collection (lot ticket included).
