1820/19 N-2 R2 Overdate Small 20 over 19. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Beautiful lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with hints of faded mint color showing through in some of the protected areas on the obverse. Essentially flawless except for a spot of slightly lighter brown toning at the curl over the 20 and a swipe of slightly darker bluish steel toning from the front edge of the coronet to star 6. MDS. Microscopic die rust (tiny lumps on the coin) covers many of the devices on both sides and the overdate feature is still visible. The 1 is dull but clearly visible in the upper half of the 2, and a trace of the 9 remains visible at the lower left of the 0. A beautiful example of this overdate variety. Graded MS60+ and tied for CC#2 honors in the Bland census. Noyes photo #20129. Our Grade is MS62. Comes with a great provenance. Pop 2; 1 finer in 65 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36682) .
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
