Lot 225
1829 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Choice frosty light chocolate brown with steel brown toning on the cheek and 10% of the original mint color remaining on the reverse, 15% on the reverse. The only marks are a few small spots of slightly darker toning, including one in the field before the forehead and another under the second S in STATES. These minor spots are not at all distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. A bit softly struck, as usual, with minor weakness on the upper part of the hair buns, on the curl over the 9, and on most of the stars as well as parts of the wreath. MDS with 4 "Wheelspoke" die cracks on the reverse, all extending from the dentils to the wreath. These are located at the R in AMERICA, the ribbon at the bottom of the wreath, just left of the first S in STATES, and through the first A in AMERICA. Called MS63 and CC#1 as the only mint state example known in the Noyes census, his photo #35901. Bland says MS60+ and CC#1. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 3; none finer.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
