Lot 9
1816 N-4 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Beautiful lustrous bluish steel brown with faded mint red in protected areas. No spots, and the only defect keeping this cent from a higher grade is a very faint hairline scratch in the field along the profile of the nose down into the field off the chin. This mark is difficult to see even with a good glass and knowing where to look. M-LDS. The repunching on the bottom of the D in UNITED is nearly gone and the dash between the C & A in AMERICA is dull but visible. The die lines over AME are gone. In the middle of the condition census for the variety. Noyes photo #57109 with no grade listed, but certainly in the condition census. Our grade is MS62. Pop 2; 1 in 66. DWH #2452.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
