Lot 210
1826 N-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous chocolate and bluish steel delicately mottled with some frosty lighter brown. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas, and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a tiny, microscopic scratch in the field just off the tip of the nose and a light nick in the middle of the jawline, plus a hint of reddish brown toning on the 6 in the date. M-LDS with a small but strong rim cud over star 6. The upper dash right of the 6 is gone but the lower one remains clear. The fine die crack from the hair through star 9 to the rim has not formed. Struck slightly off center to K-3. Our grade is MS60. Pop 1; 2 in 65. Only 4 examples graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3418 (PCGS # 36814) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
