Lot 46
1817 N-9 R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Very attractive offering mint state sharpness, but there is a very faint hairline scratch arcing above star 1 and another slanting down to the left through the T in CENT, plus a trio of shallow contact marks over the E in ONE. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal is excellent. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate with frosty faded mint color in protected areas on both sides. Sharply struck E-MDS, before any trace of the Mouse break on top of the head under star 8. Called AU50 in the Noyes census, his photo #37224. Our grade is AU50. Pop 2; 1 in 64; 1 in 66. DWH #0414 (PCGS # 36574) .
Estimated Value $500-UP.
