1842 1C N-2 Small Date, RD MS65RD 认证号15562344, PCGS号405817

While "only" graded by PCGS as MS65RD, the collection's specimen of the 1842 "Petite Head" cent is THE single finest known Petite Head Cent. Previously from the incredible Naftzger Collection, this coin is listed as MS67 in Bill Noyes' official EAC condition census, and this monster is well deserving of that praise. Described by copper expert Stewart Blay as "THE most important coin" in the Naftzger sale of late date cents, this coin was hotly contested and realized a well-deserved record price.
