Lot 85
1827 N-4 R2 PCGS Genuine, UNC Details, Cleaned. Frosty light to medium reddish chocolate brown and steel. Faint hints of underlying very faded red color can be found in a couple of the protected areas. The surfaces are nearly flawless and the "Cleaned" assessment from PCGS is debatable. A microscopic diagonal hairline in the field off the tip of the nose is the only notable mark, and it is barely visible. Sharply struck showing full radial lines in all the stars and crisp hair details. LDS with crumbling in the dentils at the bottom of the reverse and obvious swelling at the O & C in ONE CENT. Graded AU55 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 net AU50, his photo #21644. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36847. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
