Lot 98
1820 N-7 R2 PCGS graded AU55. PCGS graded AU-55. Glossy olive and dark steel brown with frosty lighter steel brown in protected areas. A fine diagonal hairline scratch passes from the field right of star 4 across the cheek and neck to the lowest curl. MDS with a faint die crack from the bust tip fading out as it reaches the right point of star 1. The center dot on the reverse is tiny but still visible. A very important example of the variety, but certainly not as impressive as most of the other cents in this superb collection. Called AU50 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #21880. Bland says AU50 and tied for CC#2 among the confirmed examples. Our grade is AU50 net EF45+. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
