1819 N-8 R1 PCGS graded MS64RB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Mint red fading to light bluish steel brown, more than a third of the red remaining, mostly on the reverse. No spots or stains, but there are numerous microscopic contact marks scattered over both sides, none distracting but more than you expect for a cent with this much original mint color. Sharply struck EDS with smooth, hard fields on both sides. Called MS62 and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #21559. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 2; none finer.
