Lot 221
1826 N-6 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. The obverse is lustrous medium brown with delicate speckles of steel brown and the reverse is a lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate. The only marks are a small spot of reddish chocolate toning on the nostril and a tiny speck of planchet slag in the field near the dentil right of star 8, as struck. Sharply struck E-MDS with tiny lumps of fine die rust in the obverse fields, including a collection of these tiny lumps right of star 4, and those fields are slightly reflective thanks to a die lapping used to minimize the rust. The fields are just starting to show microscopic radial flowlines near the dentil tips but the dies remain uncracked and void of rim cuds. Excellent eye appeal. Our grade is MS60. Pop 3; 2 in 66. DWH #2512 (PCGS # 36826) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
