Lot 156
1820 N-10 R2 Large Date. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. CAC. Choice lustrous light steel brown with at least 10% of both sides showing mint color. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. Nearly flawless. The best identifying mark, and it is barely visible with a glass, is a tiny scrape hidden in the dentils over star 7. E-MDS. The small dash between the F in OF and adjacent A is dull but clearly visible and the small center dot below the middle of the N in ONE is faint but visible. Our grade is MS63. Not seen by Noyes or Bland, but tied for CC#1 in our census. The attribution and Doug Bird Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer. (PCGS # 36664) Value $6,000 - UP
