Lot 691
1833 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty tan with steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a small puff of slightly darker brown toning in the field right of star 2 and a thin nick-like planchet flake on the rim off the end of the wreath stem. LDS with a double profile on the nose, lips, and chin (from die bounce or machine doubling, not a doubled die). Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Matthews Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 4 finer: 2 in 64, 2 in 66. Value $1,000 - UP
