1843 N-11 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Petite Head with Small Letters Reverse. Repunched 84. Lustrous chocolate brown with overtones of light bluish steel covering the protected areas.

LDS, die state d, with a die crack slanting across the reverse from the dentils just left of the first S in STATES to the dentils over the I in AMERICA. This crack is clear outside the wreath, faint inside. Ted's envelope includes a note that this coin was used by Grellman to diagram the bisected reverse die state for his book on the late date cents. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31173. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
