1837 N-17 R4 Plain Hair Cord, Medium Ltrs PCGS graded AU58+. Choice frosty light to medium brown. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has great eye appeal.

Sharply struck E-MDS. There is a small but strong rim cud break at star 5 and the die cracks on the reverse are light. Graded AU50 by Noyes and tied for CC#10, his photo #37800. Our grade is AU50. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,450 - UP
