Lot 360
1830 N-8 R1. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. CAC. Choice lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. The surfaces are satiny and virtually perfect, and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The only defects are a tiny tick under the right corner of the eye and a faint, very light scuff under the first A in AMERICA. Sharply struck LDS with a fine die crack connecting the bust tip to the dentils under star 1. The small patch of tiny lumps under the first T in STATES (caused by die rust) is clear. In addition there is a fine double profile on the upper lip and chin (from die bounce or "machine doubling"). Called MS63 Choice and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #20796. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#1. Our grade is MS64. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest in BN at PCGS. (PCGS # 36955) Value $3,000 - UP
