Probable Finest Known 1841 N-1 Cent, PR65 Red

1841 1C PR65 Red NGC. N-1, R.5. The 1841 N-1 cent is a proof-only variety with a current known population in the vicinity of 50 coins. As such, it is one of the more plentiful proof-only late date large cent varieties. The obverse die was used for this single variety, while the reverse die was later used for 1842 N-1 cents, both proofs and business strikes.
Of all the known 1841 N-1 proofs, this example is believed the finest known. Both sides have bright orange proof surfaces with few flecks or spots. The most visible marker is a tiny spot below Liberty's chin that identifies this piece from a New Netherlands sale. EAC PR65.
