Lot 364
1820 N-13 R1 Large Date NGC graded MS65 Red & Brown. Choice lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with at least 10% of the planchet showing mellowed mint color, mostly on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only marks are a couple very light scuffs in the field between the chin and star 2 and a spot of darker toning under the O in OF. MDS with a die crack that meanders through the date and stars. Most likely from the famous Randall Hoard of mint state cents discovered shortly following the US Civil War. A relatively common variety in mint state but this is a very nice one. Our grade is MS64. Pop 58; 12 finer in 66 as MSRB. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
