1841 N-5 R3- PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive lustrous light to medium brown. A great cent, nearly flawless.

M-LDS, die state d, with flowlines and die cracks on both sides. Our grade is MS60++, very close to MS62, and tied for CC#3 of the variety. Comes with a nice provenance.
