1825 N-4 R3. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. The obverse is glossy reddish chocolate brown, the reverse a glossy light olive brown. A very faint hairline slants across the jaw and a dull one shows on the bust, neither visible without a strong glass. MDS. Fine die cracks connect all the stars except for #10 and a stronger die crack passes through the bases of RICA to the stem and ribbon. Called AU55 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#4, his photo #27554. Either way this is an important cent, and it comes with an impressive provenance. Our grade is AU50. Pop 1; 1 in 64. Only 2 examples graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #1905 (PCGS # 36793) .
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
