1843 N-6 R1 Mature Head, Large Letters Repunched 18 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with 10% of the mellowed mint red remaining on both sides. Nicely struck with excellent eye appeal. The notable marks are a very shallow planchet flake in the field right of the hair bun and a small spot of shallow carbon on the left side of the N in CENT. MDS, die state b, showing a very narrow rim cud break at star 13 (which is difficult to see in the slab). The repunching on the bottom of the 18 remains visible. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. A nice example of the Mature Head version of 1843 cents. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 65+. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
