1838 N-7 R1 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Highly lustrous and very attractive bluish steel and light olive with mint red covering the protected areas on both sides. Finding any identifying marks presents a challenge, but a tiny nick-like planchet chip over the upper left point of star 9 and a tiny spot that joins the tops of the R & T in LIBERTY will suffice. Sharply struck EDS. The tiny lumps around the center dot on the reverse are clear and the line from the leaf tip to the base of the F in OF is bold. Called MS63 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #35892. Bland says MS63 and tied for CC#6. Our grade is MS64+, very close to MS65. PCGS Population 2; none finer.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
