1840 N-7 R3 Large Date PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty medium brown. Sharply struck, one of the sharpest seen of this variety. Looks mint state but there is a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices. The only marks are a few nicks in the field under star 7. EDS, die state a, with repunching visible on the 8 and a fine diagonal die line from the lower junction of the hair buns. Our grade is AU58, tied for CC#5 of the variety and tied for CC#2 of those seen in the early die state. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3, none finer. Estimated Value $800 - UP
