1820/19 N-1 R1 Overdate Large 20 over 19. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Frosty light to medium steel brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the obverse highpoints. Satiny luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. A small splash of darker steel brown toning on the O in OF is the best identifying mark. MDS with fine die flowlines covering the fields. The overdate feature (2 over 1) is bold and fine repunching is visible on the 18 as well. Looks mint state but there is a touch of rub on the highpoints. Called AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #35238. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 5; none finer in BN at PCGS. (PCGS # 36679) Value $2,000 - UP
