1838 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65RB. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate faded down from mint red with slightly mellowed mint color showing through in the fields and protected areas on both sides. At least a third of the planchet displays some shade of original red. Excellent eye appeal with only a few microscopic marks. These include a faint hairline down through the bottom of the first 8 in the date, another at the dentils below star 13, and two microscopic specks of dark toning on the jawline near the earlobe. Late die state. The dies are well worn and the spike from the leaf tip under the R in AMERICA is gone. Clear die clashmarks from the wreath show along the profile of Ms Liberty. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS62 choice and tied for CC#9, his photo #20862. Our grade is MS64. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 66RB.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
