1816 N-9 R3. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Repunched 81. Lustrous medium steel brown with delicate overtones of bluish steel, especially on the obverse. The reverse is a shade or two lighter than the obverse with hints of very faded mint red in protected areas. The only marks are a light horizontal nick just right of the mouth, another light nick in the field off the browlock, plus a few tiny ticks on the chin. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal remains excellent. E-MDS with clear repunching left of the lower loop of the 8 and to the left from the peak and base of the second 1. Fine radial die flowlines cover the fields on both sides and the dentils are complete. Called MS60 and tied for second finest known in the Bland census. Called MS62 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #27604. Comes with a nice provenance as well. Our grade is MS60+. Pop 1. The only Brown example graded at PCGS for the variety. PCGS has graded a single MS65RB example. Only 2 total graded at PCGS. DWH #2454.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
