1844/81 N-2 R2 Overdate 44 over Inverted 18 PCGS graded MS64 Brown
Lustrous light steel brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel on the reverse. There are some small ticks on the chin and a speck under star 8, none distracting. MDS, die state b. What really sets this piece apart from the other high-grade examples is the strike. The hair at the ear is complete and there is just a touch of weakness on the top of the coronet under star 6. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#6 for the variety in the Grellman census but arguably the finest of those that are struck this well. Housed in a small OGH "rattler" slab.
