1843 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown.
1843 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Petite Head with Reverse of 1844. Frosty bluish steel and olive brown with generous traces of faded mint color showing on both sides. The luster is a bit subdued thanks to a thin layer of natural oxidation, but the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks are a spot of dark toning on the upper point of star 2 and a weaker one in the field midway between stars 4 & 5. A barely visible pinprick hidden in the dentils below the stem tip is the only sign of contact. EDS, die state a. A tiny but clearly defined lump shows under the right base of the 1 and fine die lines connect the dentils to star 13. An attractive example of this single-die-variety "Redbook" type coin. Called MS60 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #31017. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
