1817 L1C N-16 R1 NGC MS65 BN
Frosty golden brown very delicately mottled with some light reddish chocolate brown, the obverse a few shades lighter than the reverse. The surfaces are lustrous and there are traces of very faded mint red remaining in protected areas. No contact marks, and the only defects are some very tiny specks of dark toning peppered over the upper third of the reverse, strongest at OF AM. Sharply struck EDS, before the cud break over AM. There is a thin but clear double profile on the tip of the nose, upper lip, chin, and most of the neck. EAC grade MS62 and in the middle of the condition census for this popular "Redbook" variety.<p><i>Richard Picker-Gene Reale, Sotheby's New York 1/98:56-Allan J. Kollar.</i>
