Lot 338
1837 N-13 R2 Medium Letters, Plain Hair Cord PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous bluish steel brown and light olive with mellowing mint red covering 15% of the obverse and nearly a third of the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and it offers outstanding eye appeal. The only notable marks are a thin diagonal nick on the chin and a spot of darker bluish steel toning between star 13 and the dentils. MDS with the usual die crack through the top of most of the legend outside the wreath. The repunching on the N in UNITED remains clearly visible. A very nice cent. Our grade is MS64. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 66 for the variety. PCGS #37166. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
