Lot 371
1832 N-1 R2 AU55. Partial Double Profile. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. An attractive mint state cent but it has a dull, light scuff on the chin and a thin nick high on the neck under the earlobe. Lustrous light to medium brown with hints of very faded underlying mint red on the obverse and some small spots of very light carbon on the reverse, mostly in the dentils. Sharply struck MDS. The dies have been lapped and the two die scratches from the leaf tip under the first A in AMERICA are weak but still visible. There is rather strong doubling on the bottom of the nostril, lips, and from the chin to the throat, all from die bounce. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; 2 in 64; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #0797.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
