1822 N-2 R3. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous light steel brown with delicate overtones of bluish steel, especially on the obverse, and 5-10% of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. There is a small spot of darker olive toning in the hair under the B in LIBERTY and some very light contact marks scattered about the obverse. A nick on star 6, a hairline scratch from that star to the hair over the coronet, and a light scratch along the dentil tips over star 8 are good identifying marks. MDS. The die crack through stars 8-11 is clear and the long dash between the bases of second S in STATES and the adjacent O is obvious. The fields are satiny from microscopic radial die flowlines. A cent with excellent eye appeal. Called MS63 and tied for CC#2 honors in the Bland and Noyes census lists, Noyes photo #33218. Our grade is MS60+. Pop 3 none finer in Brown at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2593 (PCGS # 36715) .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
