Lot 11
1816 N-6 R2 PCGS graded MS65BN. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Choice frosty medium brown blending to chocolate on the highpoints. Considerable original mint color shows on both sides, especially on the reverse where at least 25% of the mint red remains. Great luster and eye appeal. The only marks are a very light swipe of darker toning in the field between star 5 and the coronet and a small low spot (as struck) over the left side of the E in ONE. M-LDS with fine die rust showing in the obverse fields and the die chip on the loop of the 6 is gone. Called MS60 and tied for CC#3 overall but finest of the later die state in the Noyes census, his photo #20733. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#3. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 66BN.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
