1831 N-6 R1 MS60. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. The obverse is lustrous light to medium brown with steel brown toning on the cheek. The reverse is lustrous bluish steel brown, the lower half a shade or two darker than the upper half. The only mark is a barely visible rim bruise under the 8 in the date. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. LDS with delicate crumbling in the dentils at F-AMERIC and the reverse rotated 10 degrees CW. The dentils on the obverse are still sharp but the fields on that side are covered with microscopic radial die flowlines that create satiny mint frost. Called MS61 and CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #25735. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS60. Pop 1; 2 in 65. DWH #2612.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
Ex McLaughlin & Robinson Auctions #4355, 12/87:439-Wes Rasmussen, Heritage 1/13/05:3588 (the attribution and Rasmussen provenance are noted on the NGC label).
