Lot 103
1820 N-10 R2 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Large Date. Frosty light bluish steel brown with hints of underlying very faded mint color showing through in a few places. The surfaces are satiny and highly lustrous but the eye appeal is adversely affected by a few small spots of slightly darker toning, including three at the bottom of the portrait, another at the 18, and a half dozen others scattered over the reverse. A spot at the right foot of the T in CENT was carefully abraded away leaving lighter coppery toning at that spot. Sharply struck M-LDS. The dash in the field left of the first A in AMERICA is dull and faint. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #28691. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#3. Our grade is MS62. PCGS Population 3; none finer.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Dr. James O. Sloss (privately) 9/1958.
