Large Cents
1846 1C N-9, R.2, Small Date MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Die State b, showing only a weak fragment of the die line through ICA in AMERICA. All varieties included, the 1846 Small Date cent is rare in Gem Red and Brown condition, and no full Red pieces are reported at PCGS. This coin displays a bold, even strike with vibrant luster and mostly carbon-free surfaces. Rich steel-blue and sea-green overtones complement original copper-red luster. Two microscopic ticks on Liberty's jaw deny an even finer grade. Our EAC grade MS63. Population (all varieties included): 17 in 65 Red and Brown, 2 finer (9/17).
