1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS65BN. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Glossy light golden brown and tan blending to light chocolate brown on the reverse. Faded frosty mint color shows in protected areas on the obverse and covers all the protected places on the reverse. Nice luster and eye appeal. The only marks worthy of mention are a horizontal nick under the right edge of the eye, a speck of dark toning in the field near the curl at the back of the neck, and a couple microscopic hairlines over the N in ONE. EDS but not the earliest state. A fine die crack extends down from the dentils to the left point of star 9 and to the inner section of the hair bun where it fades out. Called MS61 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, his photo #21157. Our grade is MS62. PCGS Population 1; 2 finer, 1 in 66BN, 1 in 67BN.
