1818 N-1 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light bluish steel brown and tan with 10% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. There are some light nicks on the top of the first 8 in the date, a few more off the bust tip, and a spot of darker toning in the field under the chin. LDS. The dentils are fading but remain nearly complete, and a narrow rim cud shows from star 3 up to well past star 4. Die chatter doubling shows on the right edge of the portrait, including the ear and LIBERTY. An attractive example of a variety that’s difficult to find in mint state. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#3 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #60369. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution and Dan Holmes Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Pop 4; 3 finer for the variety in MSBN at PCGS, 2 in 65, 1 in 66. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
