Lot 1
1840 N-1 R1 Small Date PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous medium steel brown. Satiny mint frost covers both sides of this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks are a tiny tick in the field near the tip of the nose and a few specks of darker toning under star 10. E-MDS, die state a late. The repunching at the base of the 8 is dull but clearly visible. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#6 honors in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 2 finer in 64 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $600-UP
