1831 N-9 R2 MS60. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous light to medium steel brown. The only marks are a light scuff in the field between star 11 and the hairbun and a small area of slightly darker toning hidden in the hair right of the curl on the neck. Excellent eye appeal. Nicely struck EDS+. A new die crack extends from the left point of star 5 to the dentils at that star. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective from a fresh die polishing that left fine nearly vertical die lapping lines in the field before the portrait and removed the arcing die line right of the date. The earlier die crack through the top of the date and stars 1-7 and 9-13 is clear. The weaker die crack down from the lower point of star 5 reaches into the field extending nearly to star 4. Called MS60 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #32205. Our grade is MS60. Pop 2; 1 in 64. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3311.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
