Lot 225
1826 N-7 R1. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Very attractive frosty light steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints, especially on the obverse. A small splash of darker olive toning at the U in UNITED is the only mark on otherwise flawless surfaces. MDS with fine die flowlines covering the fields on both sides but no cracks or dentil crumbling. Strong die clashmarks are evident on both sides, and these clashmarks are rotated about 35 degrees CW relative to the current die orientation. The reverse is not rotated. This anomaly is discussed by John Wright in his catalog on the Middle Date Cent series, The Cent Book. Called AU50 in the Noyes census, his photo #26724. Our grade is AU58. Pop 1; 1 in 64; 1 in 65; 1 in 66. Only 4 examples of this variety graded at PCGS. DWH #2919 (PCGS # 36829) .
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
