Lot 676
1821 N-1 R1. NGC graded EF-45. Glossy chocolate and olive brown with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. This cent looks quite nice to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals that the obverse details, including the stars and hair, were expertly strengthened. The work was done with exceptional skill, hence the grade assigned by NGC. The color is not original, of course, but it is very attractive. MDS with a fine die crack from the I in UNITED to the C in AMERICA. Our grade is VF30 sharpness net F15.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
