Lot 88
1827 N-6 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous medium olive and light bluish steel with a few hints of very faded mint color visible on both sides. Mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The toning in the field before the portrait is delicately mottled, a tiny diagonal nick is located under the lower left point of star 7, and there is a light nick on the rim over the second S in STATES. Otherwise this cent is choice. MDS. The repunching on the 2 remains clear and the die line off the right end of the line under CENT is sharp.
