main curl and at ONE CENT.

1841 N-3 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown
. Lustrous
chocolate and light olive brown with faded mint color cover-
ing 5% of the planchet. No spots, stains, or notable marks.
Finding any identifying marks is a challenge; a tiny planchet
flake on the throat and another on a dentil over the second
T in STATES are the best available. Extremely shallow low
spots caused by debris on the die produced microscopic
roughness the field inside the wreath. A beautiful cent,
nearly choice. LDS die state d, with all the die cracks
described by Grellman.
Our grade is MS62,
tied for CC#2
honors for the variety in the Grellman census. The attribu-
tion is noted on the PCGS label.

1841 N-4 R1 PCGS graded MS64+ Brown
. Choice lustrous
steel brown and light chocolate. Tiny peeps of faded mint red
show in protected areas on the obverse. No spots, stains, or
contact marks. A dull nick on the top of the 8 in the date and a
light horizontal nick left of the end of the wreath ribbon are
good identifying marks, but neither is visible without the aid of
a strong glass. MDS, die state c. The tiny diagonal lines from
the dentils under the 4 are weak but still visible and the die
cracks on both sides are clear.
Our grade is MS60+,
tied for
CC#9 in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on the
PCGS label.
