Lot 384
1821 N-1 R1 PCGS graded AU58+, CAC Approved. Glossy light brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and chocolate toning on the upper right two-thirds of the reverse. There are some very light contact marks scattered about both sides, including a thin diagonal nick over star 13 and a dull nick on the top of the O in ONE. A small spot of darker olive toning close under star 4 is the best identifying mark. EDS but not quite the earliest with slightly reflective fields on both sides and minor crumbling in the dentils at stars 6-7. The reverse remains uncracked. A very nice example of a date that is difficult to find in top grades. Our grade is AU50. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest of the variety graded at both services. Estimate Value $4,000 - UP
