Detailed description of the 45 from the Capitol 6000 website - http://www.capitol6000.com/beatles45.html.
CAPITOL 72076 The Beatles Love Me Do / PS I Love You Issued on February 18, 1963. This 45 is the first record issued in North America that was credited to "The Beatles". The very first pressings of this rare record are normally identifiable by the large hand written matrix number (with no dash and number) hand etched in the trail off area.
This first pressing is extremely rare since, according to Paul white himself, the first run counted only 170 copies were. The band not being famous yet, the 45 did not sell well; apparently only around 78 copies were sold out of those initial 170. These early 1963 records were issued in a glossy black Capitol sleeve.
NOTE: Although still quite hard to find, Later early 1964 re-pressings exist with the large matrix number and no dash or number. Being good for a few thousand records, stampers were most likely not thrown out after a small run of 170, and later re-used when re-pressings were needed.
The master for this 45 was dubbed from the UK 45 and plays the rarer version of Love Me Do with Ringo on drums.

Very rare.
