glossy steel brown and chocolate with traces of frosty golden
tan faded down from mint color in protected areas on the
obverse. No notable contact marks, but there is a tiny swipe of
darker steel toning at stars 1-2 and along the tops of D-STATE.
MDS. There are fine radial die flowlines off the dentils but the
crumbling has not formed in the notch on the right side of the R
in AMERICA. A fine but clear double profile caused by die
bounce shows on the lips, chin, neck, ERTY, 31 in the date, and
stars 12 & 13. An attractive cent.

1841 N-1 (Proof Only) R5
.
PCGS graded Proof 64
Red
. Brilliant mint red just starting to mellow to light steel
brown with 90% of the original color remaining. This cent
offers exceptional eye appeal, just a few tiny specks of dark
toning from gem status. The best identifying marks are a
tiny spot resting atop the head under star 7, two more at
the dentils near star 13, and one more between the feet of
the S & T in STATES. Sharply struck (which surprisingly is
not always the case for this proof-only issue). Near the top
of the condition census for the variety and one of the "red-
dest" proof large cents known. A superb date or type coin
for the Petite Head large cent.
Our grade is consistent
with the slab grade
.
Estimated Value ............................................ $10,000-UP
