Lot 316
1830 N-5 R3 PCGS graded MS65BN. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Attractive lustrous medium brown with a faint suggestion of reddish brown overtone at the bottom of the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and offer excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a tiny swipe of darker toning on a strand of hair under the bun and a faint spot of darker toning inside the top of the O in ONE. Nicely struck MDS with full radial lines in all the stars, which is quite unusual for this variety. The dies are worn and the fields are flowlined, strongest on the lower half of the reverse where the legend is strongly drawn to the rim. The inner circle under the 0 in the date is still visible and the reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Struck very slightly off center to K-1. Called MS60 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21747. Bland says MS60 and CC#3. Our grade is MS60+. Pop 1, none finer. DWH #3554.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
