1844/81 N-2 Blundered Date 44 over Inverted 18 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Appro. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with a faint hints of very faded mint red in protected areas of the obverse. There are a few microscopic ticks on the obverse, none at all distracting or visible without a strong glass. The best identifying mark is a thin horizontal nick on the jaw. M-LDS, die state b. The points at O in ONE and E in CENT are gone. The undertype inverted date remains visible on all 4 digits, strongest on the 44. The strike is well above average for this variety showing only minor weakness on the coronet tip and hair over the ear. A very nice example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Holmes provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety. Estimated Value $4,000-UP
