1817 N-3 R2 PCGS graded MS65BN.
1817 N-3 R2 PCGS graded MS65BN. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel brown with choice, satiny surfaces. Hints of very faded mint color show through in a few places on the obverse. The obverse is choice in every respect but the obverse suffers slightly from a couple dark spots on the wreath ribbon and another in the leaves under the N in UNITED. These spots are well hidden and are not a significant distraction. MDS with a small "Peeking Mouse" break resting on the top of the head under the left side of star 8. Although this break is a precursor to the "Mouse" break that is forming, it looks more like a snake with the head to the left in this stage of its progression. Called MS60+ and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#15, his photo #20804. Our grade is MS60+. PCGS Population 2; none finer. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex J.
