Lot 135
1822 N-9 R5- PCGS graded AU50. Medium olive brown and steel. Looks flawless to the unaided eye but a glass reveals uniform extremely faint roughness that subdues the gloss on both sides. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal is excellent. Sharply struck EDS. The die crack through ED STATES is quite faint (occurred during the previous N-8 marriage). Graded EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #35704. Our grade is EF40. An important example of this tough die variety, and it comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36736. Pop 1; 2 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in 53, 1 in 55. Estimated Value $5,000 - UP
