Lot 12
1816 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Lustrous golden medium brown with underlying faded mint color peeking through in protected areas. No spots, stains, or notable contact marks. The only defect, and it is barely visible, is a shallow planchet flake at the dentils over star 5. Early die state with exceptionally sharp details on the portrait and die clashmarks on both sides. Great eye appeal. Called MS63 choice and tied for CC#1 with one other piece in the Noyes census, his photo #21019. Bland says MS65 and stand alone CC#1 in his census. Our grade is MS64. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
