1843 N-16 R4 Mature Head, Large Letters PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty light olive and steel. Satiny mint luster covers the planchet and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The only defect is a thin planchet lamination from the dentils over star 4 to the coronet and LIB. Too bad because this cent would have been a beautiful gem example of a tough die variety. Very sharply struck E-MDS with microscopic radial die flowlines in the fields that create the attractive cartwheel luster. Called MS60 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #31224. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,500-UP
