1843 N-17 R5+ PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown.
1843 N-17 R5+ PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Mature Head. Mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints, at least half the original color remaining. There are some insignificant specks of darker toning scattered over the obverse, the largest of these nestled under the junction of the 1 & 8 in the date. The only signs of contact are a thin diagonal nick in the field over the inner hairbun, one more right of the outer hairbun, and a third on the chin. EDS with smooth, prooflike fields on both sides. The beauty of this cent is enhanced when you consider its rarity and the fact that the next finest piece grades only net VF35. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31125. Our grade is MS64 prooflike and CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
