1835 N-2 R3 Head of 1834 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Beautiful medium chocolate brown and steel with 10% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. There is a splash of slightly reddish chocolate toning at stars 9-11, and microscopic traces of very fine verdigris or dirt can be found in this area. The only other mark is a faint streak of slightly darker toning from star 2 to star 4. The reverse is choice, just a couple light nicks under the wreath from flawless. Sharply struck EDS with prooflike fields on both sides. A remarkable cent, certainly one of the first struck from this pair of dies. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#2 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #33270. Our grade is MS60. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,500-UP
