1844 N-1 R1 Repunched 1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Glossy steel and chocolate brown with traces of very faded mint red in protected areas. Nearly choice except for a thin nick on the chin and a small splash of microscopic carbon in the field just below the inner hair bun. EDS but not quite the earliest, die state b. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective but there are several tiny rim cud breaks under the date. Sharply struck and the fine repunching on either side of the base of the 1 is clear. The fine die polishing lines of the earliest state are still visible and the dies are uncracked. Obviously those tiny rim cud breaks occurred very early in the life of the obverse die. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution is noted on the PCGS Label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
