Lot 4
1816 N-2 R1. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Glossy light steel brown with hints of bluish steel toning in some protected areas of the reverse and 5-10% of the faded mint red remaining. There are two tiny spots of darker toning in the field under star 5, a trio of tiny ticks over the 16 in the date, and a light nick on the left top of O in OF. E-MDS, without the additional rim cud between stars 11 & 12, but the always presents rim cuds from star 8 to star 11 are clear. The reverse fields are smooth and slightly reflective. The browlock is strong, which is unusual for this variety, but there is some weakness in the leaves at the top of the reverse. The reverse is rotated 5-10 degrees CW from a normal head-to-foot die orientation. An attractive example of this Randall Hoard variety. Our grade is MS62. Pop 2; 1 in 64. A total of 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #0365 (PCGS # 36526) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
