1817 N-12 R3 PCGS graded MS62 Brown
Very attractive frosty steel brown and light chocolate with traces very faded red showing in protected areas on both sides, especially on the reverse. Essentially flawless in every respect with just a hint of rub on the very highest points of the devices. The luster is a bit subdued by a thin layer of natural oxidation; a proper bath may uncover more of the underlying mint luster. Two dull, light nicks at the right bottom of the E in ONE can help identify this cent. MDS with a die crack from star 1 down to the dentils below in addition to the earlier cracks through the date and stars. A superior example of a variety that's very difficult to find in high grade. Our grade is AU55+. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
