Lot 306
1838 N-16 R5- PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty uniform light to medium chocolate brown and steel. Looks mint state and flawless to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals a touch of friction on the highpoints and a few minor contact marks. The notable ones are a tiny nick on the chin, a horizontal nick in the field left of the lips, and another off the tip of the bust. A very attractive example of this rare variety. Graded AU55 net AU50 and CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #38162. Our grade is AU50. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #37222. Pop 1; 3 graded higher at PCGS for the variety, 1 in 63, 2 in 64. Estimated Value $2,500 - UP
