Lot 82
1827 N-1 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty tan and light steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the portrait. Light bluish steel overtones cover the reverse. This cent is lustrous and quite attractive, but there is a touch of rub on the highest points of the portrait. The best identifying mark is a tiny planchet flake nestled between star 1 and the dentils. Nicely struck E-MDS. There is no crumbling in the dentils at stars 5 & 6 and the dash right of the line below CENT is sharp. Graded MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #21377. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#2 among the confirmed business strike examples in his census. Our grade is AU55. Comes with a very nice provenance that includes several very prominent collectors of US Large Cents. The attribution and Naftzger-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer in 64 for the variety. PCGS #36838. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
