Lot 47
1817 N-9 R2 Outlined Mouse. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous medium brown and chocolate with splashes of olive brown toning on both sides, mostly on the obverse and peeps of faded mint color remaining in a few of the protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and nearly free of contact marks. A couple microscopic ticks right of star 3 and another barely visible one over the left side of the O in ONE are the only notable ones, and they are trivial. M-LDS. The fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines on both sides giving this cent outstanding cartwheel luster. The "Mouse Top" has not formed, but careful examination reveals a fine outline where it is developing on top of the head below the left side of star 8. The full Mouse break is clearly outlined and follows its final form perfectly with the head on the left and larger body on the right. Our grade is MS60. Pop 2; 1 in 64; 3 in 66. DWH #3179 (PCGS # 36574) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
