1816 N-6 R2 Partially Reeded Edge PCGS MS63 BR
1816 N-6 R2 Partially Reeded Edge. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Choice glossy light steel brown with hints of bluish steel overtones in some protected areas and underlying frosty mint luster covering the fields. The only marks are a faint diagonal hairline in the field just right of star 3 and a small swipe of dark steel toning under the right side of star 7. Very attractive, just a touch of light wear on the highest points of the design. MDS. The knob or lump on the upper edge of the lower loop of the 6 is clear and the obverse fields do not show any trace of die rust. In addition, the edge is clearly reeded from star 2 to star 7, strongest at star 5 (a condition sometimes found on this and a few other varieties for an unknown reason). Noyes photo #38376. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; 1 in 65; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #1877 (PCGS # 36538) .
Estimated Value $600-UP.
