Lot 247
1835 N-7 R1 Head of 1836 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous medium olive brown and chocolate with faded mint red in the protected areas on both sides. A barely visible arcing struck-through line over the T in CENT (caused by a tiny piece of thread or wire on the die) is the only notable mark. Sharply struck E-MDS. The die rust normally found on this variety is not present, but the tiny lumps on the left base of the 1 & 8 in the date that are present in the early state are still visible. A fine double profile extends from the top of the brow lock down to the chin with additional doubling on LIBERTY and stars 1-10. A very nice cent with great eye appeal for the grade. And it comes with a nice provenance as well. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer: 1 in 64, 1 in 66. PCGS #37057. Estimated Value $800 - UP
