Lot 16
1841 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous bluish steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red on the reverse. There is a small, very light nick in the field under star 10 and a tiny planchet flake right of star 1, as struck. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, close to choice. MDS, die state c, with a thin rim cud break under the date and die cracks on both sides. The fine die lines above ERI are mostly visible but the ones under the 4 are dull. Our grade is MS62+, tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety. Estimated Value $2,000-UP
