Lot 187
1824 N-3 R2. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate, the obverse delicately mottled with some darker olive brown tones. The fields and protected areas are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is excellent. The notable marks are a light diagonal nick in the center of the neck, a faint diagonal hairline under star 8, a faint spot of microscopic roughness in the field under the chin, and a few tiny pinpricks at the left base of the N in CENT. EDS with a sharp inner circle around most of the obverse. Nicely struck except for some minor weakness on the tip of the coronet. The reverse is slightly misaligned to K-5.5 while the obverse is nearly centered on the planchet. Noyes photo #58222. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1. The only Brown example graded at PCGS. DWH #2511 (PCGS # 36772) .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
