1843 N-10 R3 Petite Head, Small Letters PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Frosty golden light brown and olive with traces of faded mint red on both sides, particularly on the reverse. Subtle hints of bluish steel overtone show on the reverse. The luster is subdued a bit by a thin layer of natural oxidation but the eye appeal remains excellent. The notable marks are a tiny speck of carbon or crud in the field near the dentils under star 4, a razor-thin streak of dark toning on the cheek right of the nostril, and a light nick across the bottom of the 8. EDS, die state a. The tiny spur up from the top of the E in CENT is sharp and clear and the second microscopic lump under that N has not formed. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census behind the two Ted Naftzger examples sold in our September 2009 sale. Estimated Value $1,000-UP

Ex Heritage Auctions #1144, 9/23/2010:3103-Fred Iskra Collection (lot ticket included).
