Lot 1315
1842. Small date. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. One of only 6 Proofs known of this date, this being one of the nicest. The surfaces are a rich, reddish-brown color, with some traces of mint red that are not accounted for in the "Brown" designation. Hints of lovely blue iridescence abound on both sides. The details are superb, brought up fully by the intense pressures of the Proofing process, and they are far sharper than on any circulation strike 1842 Large Cent. PCGS reports only 2 examples at this grade, with none finer. A true prize for the Large Cent specialist or type collector. Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000
