Lot 163
1826/5 N-8 R2 Overdate 6 over 5 PCGS graded AU55, CAC Approved. Choice lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with a few delicate wisps of darker steel brown toning on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers the protected areas on both sides and this cent has excellent eye appeal. A tiny tick in the center of the neck is the best identifying mark, and it is trivial. M-LDS. The fields are flowlined but the undertype 5 remains visible inside the top of the 6. A very nice example of this often overlooked overdate variety. Our grade is EF40 Choice. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 7 finer. PCGS #36835. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
