1819 N-2 R1 Large Date PCGS graded MS64+ Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive frosty medium brown and light chocolate with 20% of both sides showing original mint red. Only trivial marks, none visible without the aid of a strong glass. A tiny vertical scratch midway between star 5 and the front edge of the coronet can help identify this cent. MDS showing obvious die rust on the reverse (tiny lumps on the coin). Graded MS63 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#2 as well, his photo #35158. Our grade is MS63. A great cent that comes with an important provenance. The attribution and Newcomb-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest RB of the variety. PCGS #36632. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
