Lot 62
1817 N-7 R7 (as a die state) PCGS graded VF20, CAC Approved. Glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. The planchet is smooth except for a small area of very fine roughness between star 4 and the dentils and another under the A in STATES. The only other notable mark is a tiny lamination in the planchet off the lower right point of star 7, as struck. Extremely rare EDS before the "Mouse" break on top of the head. Struck with the obverse nicely centered on the planchet while the reverse is off a bit to K-1 (which is typical of the early state). Graded F15 net VG10 and tied for CC#1 with a sharper but granular piece in the Noyes census, his photo #31651. Bland says F12 and tied for CC#2 in his census. Our grade is F12. A very important piece for the die state specialist. The attribution and Neiswinter provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
