Lot 2
1816 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown with more than two-thirds of the mint color remaining visible on both sides. A beautiful cent with only a few trivial marks. The notable ones are a small spot of darker toning in the field close before the eye and another tucked neatly between the two left points of star 10. E-MDS with the usual rim cud from star 8 to star 11 but without a rim cud between stars 11 & 12. Most likely from the Randall Hoard of mint state cents that came to light shortly after the end of the US Civil War, but this is an especially nice one. Our grade is MS63+, close to MS64. The attribution and Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer, 1 in 64+, 1 in 65 for the variety. PCGS #36527. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
Ex Bill Yates/Tom Reynolds 10/1996-Manuel Ahumada Collection (includes the Reynolds envelope).
