Lot 314
1826 N-7 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous medium brown and light olive blending to chocolate brown in some areas on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and it offers excellent eye appeal. Nearly flawless. The best identifying marks are a thin diagonal nick hidden in the hair over the B in LIBERTY and a microscopic pinprick in the middle of the jawline. Sharply struck MDS. There is a rotated die clashmark on the reverse positioned about 30 degrees clockwise from the actual die orientation. This interesting feature is noted in the John Wright reference on the middle date cent series, and it is only present in the intermediate die state for the variety. Our grade is MS63. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 2 finer in 66 for the variety. PCGS #36829. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
