1846 N-6 R1 Small Date, Repunched 46 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with hints of faded mint color on the reverse. Satiny and nearly flawless offering excellent eye appeal. A barely visible spot of reddish brown toning right of the lower lip and a very tiny horizontal tick on the cheek left of the ear lobe are the only marks, and they are trivial. E-MDS, die state b, with die lines down through the E in STATES. The repunching on the 4 & 6 is clear. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 3 finer in 65. Estimated Value $400 - UP
