Lot 29
1842 N-9 R2 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with a couple tiny splashes of slightly darker chocolate toning in the field before the face. No contact marks, but there is a small planchet flake on the front edge of the eyebrow that can help identify this cent. MDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils over ER in AMERICA are gone and a small point has been added down from the base of N in ONE. Sharply struck and very attractive for the grade. Our grade is MS62, CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 6; 1 finer in 65 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
