Lot 29
1817 N-8 R2 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous light to medium brown. A small spot of dark toning at the dentils right of star 12 and a few microscopic contact marks in the obverse fields are the only defects, and they are trivial. Sharply struck EDS with hard, slightly reflective obverse fields. The reverse is frosty rather than reflective as that die was used in an earlier marriage to produce the Newcomb-7 variety. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21296. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#5. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 2; 2 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
