Lot 710
1825 N-10 R3. NGC graded MS-65 Brown. Frosty light olive and chocolate brown with 5% of the original mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. No spots or stains, only a couple trivial contact marks. These include a pair of tiny pinpricks at the base of the neck and a thin horizontal nick over the E in CENT. The fields are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent. E-MDS with a fine die crack from the bust tip to the peak of the 1 and on to the dentils midway between the date and star 1, but no crumbling in the dentils at the top of the obverse. There is a faint double profile on the lips with stronger doubling on the date (from die bounce). Called MS62 and CC#2 of only 3 mint state examples in the Noyes census, his photo #38447. Our grade is MS60+. Population 1; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
