Lot 159
1826 N-4 R2 PCGS graded AU55, CAC Approved. Frosty steel and olive brown with traces of golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. Mint luster shows in the fields and protected areas, especially on the reverse. There is a touch of friction on the highpoints and just a few trivial marks. The notable ones are a spot of slightly darker toning at the hair under the right point of star 6, a diagonal nick between stars 4 & 5, and a trio of diagonal nicks under the right point of star 1. None of these marks is significant and this cent has excellent eye appeal. LDS. The dentils on both sides are worn and many are missing, but the repunching on the E's on ONE CENT remains strong. Our grade is EF45+. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36820. Pop 1; 8 graded higher at PCGS for the variety, 7 in MSBN, 1 in MSRB. Estimated Value $600 - UP
