1835 N-7/17 R1 Head of 1836 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red in protected areas on both sides. No defects, just a very light touch of rub on the highest points of the devices. LDS with obvious die rust (tiny lumps on the coin) on both sides (Newcomb's old #17). There is a clear double profile on the forehead nose, and lips, and most of LIBERTY (all from die bounce). Graded MS60 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #35076. Our grade is AU58. The attribution and Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer, 1 in 64, 1 in 66 for the variety. PCGS #37057. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
