1817 N-2 R3 EF45. Lustrous chocolate and medium brown with satiny mint frost covering the protected areas on both sides. No spots or stains. The only marks are a few faint hairline scratches on the face and in the field before the portrait. A fine hairline from the nose to star 2 is the only notable mark. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal is outstanding. LDS with a clear die crack bisecting the reverse. Graded AU50 in the Noyes census, his photo #28164. Comes with a nice provenance.
