1841 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous light olive and steel brown with traces of faded mint color remaining visible on the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and virtually flawless offering outstanding eye appeal. The only mark is a tiny planchet flake on the cheek below the eye, as struck. EDS, die state a, showing sharp die lines in the field at the neck and lighter lines from the dentils over TE in STATES and ER in AMERICA. This coin was used as the model for the early die state description of the variety in the 2001 Grellman reference. The strike is sharp except for star 13 and the curl above, and similar weakness shows in the opposing leaves over the E in ONE. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. Noyes photo #37582. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; tied for finest of the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,250-UP
