Lot 7
1840 N-7 R3 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with a very subtle hint of sea-green overtone. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The only marks are a tiny spot of light reddish brown toning in the field before the lips, a microscopic tick on the upper lip, and another under the T in CENT. M-LDS, die state c early. The tiny extension up from the top of the 4 is still visible and there are several narrow rim cud breaks under the date to star 13 plus another tiny one on the rim below star 12. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#2 honors for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
