1817 N-3 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous steel brown with lighter golden brown toning covering much of the protected area on both sides and there are peeps of mint red remaining on the reverse. A splash of reddish brown toning covers much of the upper cheek and there is a small patch of reddish olive carbon in the field under star 7 down to the head. Just the barest touch of friction on the highpoints from mint state. A tiny diagonal nick under star 6 and a few small rim nicks at STAT are the only contact marks. LDS with a fully developed mouse break resting atop the head under star 8. Called MS60 net AU50 by Noyes, his photo #56698. Our grade is AU58. At the lower end of the condition census for those examples known with the full mouse break. The attribution and Holmes provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,600 - UP
