Lot 107
1835 N-14 R2 Head of 1836 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Beautiful lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with overtones of bluish steel, especially on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only marks, and they are not at all distracting, are faint traces of an old fingerprint in the field at stars 4-6 and a trail of tiny ticks near the dentils left of star 1. MDS. The small bulge in the field near the dentils at stars 9-11 is gone but the tiny center dot on the reverse is still visible. Clear doubling (from die bounce) shows on stars 6-9 and on the ear lobe. Graded MS63 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #34680. Our grade is MS62. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 66 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,100 - UP
