Lot 983

1838 N-2 R1. NGC graded MS-64 Red & Brown. The obverse is frosty light steel brown with 10% of the original mint red remaining. The reverse is lustrous mint red mellowing to steel brown on the highpoints, about two-thirds of the original color remaining. There is a small spot of darker bluish steel toning on the second 8 and a speck of dark olive crud in the center of the cheek, plus a shallow nick in the field under star 5. EDS. The obverse inner circle under the 183 to star 1 and at stars 5-8 is sharp, and the doubled reverse center dot is clear. This cent offers outstanding eye appeal. Our grade is MS62+, close to MS63.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
