1840 N-5 R1 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous medium chocolate and olive brown with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides, especially on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. Just a few microscopic marks, none visible without the aid of a glass. A small rim nick left of star 2 and a spot of darker toning near the dentils between stars 6 & 7 are good identifying marks. LDS, die state c, with clearly defined rim cud breaks at stars 6-8. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 honors in the Grellman census. A beautiful cent that comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and Brown-Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 1 finer in 65+ for the variety. PCGS #395831. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
