1843 N-4 R1 Obverse of 1842, Reverse of 1844 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel and sea green. Just a few trivial marks, none notable. A minor planchet void on the rim between stars 11 & 12 can help identify this cent. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state b, with a weak rim cud break under the 1. The hub defect lump under the base of the 1 and the die lines from the dentils at star 12 are very weak but still visible. This cent is pictured on Plate XI in the Newcomb book on the cents of 1816-1857. Our grade is AU58+, very close to mint state. And it comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 10 finer at PCGS for the variety. Estimated Value $600-UP
