Lot 55
1817 N-1 R4 PCGS graded AU50, CAC Approved. Attractive frosty medium brown and steel. Satiny flowline luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. This cent has great eye appeal but there are a few light contact marks on the rims including a small rim bruise at star 2 plus a pair of tiny pin pricks in the field under the chin. LDS with a fine die crack from the tip of the coronet in addition to the earlier one from the bust tip. A nice cent that comes with a very nice provenance. Noyes graded EF40 net VF35, his photo #27653. Our grade is VF35+, close to EF40. The attribution and Neiswinter provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 1 finer for the variety.
