1830 N-2 R2 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Lustrous chocolate and light bluish steel brown with faded mint color showing in protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and the obverse is a perfect gem offering fabulous eye appeal. The reverse is not quite as attractive thanks to a minor splash of darker toning inside the wreath and another at the dentils over the first S in STATES. Sharply struck E-MDS with a die line connecting the tip of the wreath ribbon to the base of the U in UNITED. Minor doubling shows on the browlock (caused by die bounce). The tiny "earring" die flaw that dangles from the earlobe is sharp. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #20576. Bland says MS65 and tied for CC#1 as well. Our grade is MS65. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
