1827 N-5 R2 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Highly lustrous bluish steel and light chocolate brown with hints of faded mint color showing through in protected areas on both sides. Great eye appeal, a flawless gem if not for a splash of dark toning in the dentils just left of the date, a shallow nick on the jaw at the throat, and another hidden in the hair under star 8. Sharply struck EDS with full radial lines in all the stars. Called MS60+ and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#2, his photo #20663. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
