1817 N-6 R1PCGS graded MS65 Brown
1817 N-6 R1. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint red remaining on the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent, very close to choice. The only marks are a speck of dark toning right of star 3, another left of star 6, and a third between the N & T in CENT. Kept from choice by a tiny, barely visible scuff on the curl before the ear. MDS. The fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines and the dentils are starting to weaken, although they remain complete around both sides. Struck very slightly off center to K-6. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS65BN (NGC label included). Previously removed from a PCGS slab graded MS64 Brown (PCGS label included). Called MS63 by Noyes and tied for CC#2 in his census, photo #31007. Our grade is MS62. Pop 3; Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2575 (PCGS # 36565) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
