Lovely 1841 N-1 Cent, PR65 Brown

1841 1C PR65 Brown NGC. N-1, R.5. About 60 proof 1841 large cents are known in a variety of grades. This piece has rich olive surfaces with faded blue and lilac toning on each side. Traces of faded original red mint color remain on each side. The fields reflective and iridescent. The design details of this piece are all exceptionally sharp as expected. A faint hairline from the nose to star 3 and a few other minor lines and marks are evident. It is still an attractive and desirable example of the proof-only variety. The reverse die remained in service the following year to coin business strikes and proofs of 1842 N-1.
