1843 N-8 R3 Petite Head, Small Letters, Repunched Date PCGS graded MS65 Brown, C. Very attractive lustrous light olive and steel with traces of mint red on the obverse and 10% of the reverse showing mint color. This cent offers great eye appeal. The only marks are an easily missed scrape well hidden in the dentils at star 1 and some darker toning on the leaf under the T in CENT. Otherwise this cent is choice, virtually flawless. Sharp EDS, die state a. There is no crumbling under the nose and the fine die line at the inner curl is clear. The repunching on the 184 is clear as well. In fact the repunching is so sharp that you can see the base of the 1 was triple punched. A beautiful example of a variety that is difficult to find in top grades. Our grade is MS62+, very close to MS63, and CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; tied for finest graded of the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,500-UP
