Lot 131
1827 N-5 R2 PCGS graded AU58. Frosty light steel brown and light olive with hints of bluish steel overtone in the fields and protected areas. Mint luster covers all but the highpoints and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. Very lightly worn on the highpoints and showing only a few microscopic contact marks. A tiny nick under the right corner of the eye can help identify this piece. M-LDS. There is a fine die crack from the lowest curl to the dentils left of star 13 but the crack from the chin to below star 2 has not formed. A nice cent that was graded AU55 by Del Bland. Our grade is AU50. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $850 - UP
