Lot 75
1817 N-12 R3 PCGS graded G06. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. Extremely fine roughness covers the planchet but there is no verdigris. The only notable marks are a dull dent on the R in AMERICA, a nick on the bottom of the N in ONE, and a small dent on the left end of the line under CENT. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. The date is bold and the legends are clear. Extremely rare terminal die state with a large cud break connecting stars 1-3 to the rim. One of the most impressive cud breaks on a large cent of any date, and it comes with a nice provenance. Noyes photo #20705. Our grade is net G5. The attribution and Neiswinter provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,750 - UP
