1834 N-6 R3 Large 8, Stars, & Letters. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with a few tiny hints of very faded mint color showing on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. No spots or stains; the only notable marks are two nick-like planchet flakes in the field off the lower left point of star 12 (as struck) and a tiny scratch at the dentil tips over the first S in STATES. LDS with a triangular lump hanging down from a dentil right of star 8. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Graded MS61 and CC#2 in the Noyes census (that census contains only 4 mint state examples), his photo #56763. Our grade is MS60+. A superior example of this tough "Redbook" variety. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer in BN. (PCGS # 37045) Value $15,000 - UP
