1843 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown.
1843 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Petite Head with Reverse of 1844. Very attractive and lustrous light greenish steel brown with subtle overtones of sea-green, a "Greenie." The toning is uniform and the eye appeal of this piece is outstanding. If you like this type of toning, which is quite rare, then you will love this coin. The surfaces are flawless and it is quite a challenge to locate an identifying mark of any kind. A tiny, faint spot of slightly darker chocolate toning in located midway between the date and star 13, and a thin tick can be found on the rim off the end of the wreath stem, and these will have to suffice for identification purposes. LDS, die state d (Newcomb's old #13). The die markers of the earlier states are gone except for a tiny point up from the left top of the N in ONE. No trace of the rim cud break shows under the 1. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 overall but tied for CC#1 overall in the Noyes census, his photo #31013. Our grade is MS65 and tied for CC#3 overall. (It may be interesting to note than most of the really nice ones known of this variety are in the late die state; hence the trio of really great ones in that die state among Ted's holdings.).
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
