Lot 701
1816 N-2 R1. NGC graded MS-64 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous bluish steel brown with 20% of the mint red remaining on the obverse and a third remaining on the reverse. The fields are satiny and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a few microscopic contact marks in the field before the portrait and a small spot of very fine carbon near the dentils over the D in UNITED. M-LDS with an obvious rim cud break from star 8 to star 11 plus a smaller one in the dentils between stars 11 & 12. Struck with the dies rotated about 45 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot orientation. Most likely from the famous Randall Hoard of mint state cents, and this is a nice one. Our grade is MS63. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Pop 4; 1 finer in 65.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
From the Kenneth Goodman collection.
