1817 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS66BN.
1817 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Highly lustrous medium brown and light chocolate. A dull, barely visible contact mark on the earlobe and a bit of slightly darker toning inside the bottom of the second S in STATES are the only notable marks, and they do not affect the outstanding eye appeal of this cent. MDS with fine die flowlines covering the fields on both sides but no hint of the "Mouse" break on top of the head. There is a narrow but sharp and easily visible double profile from the tip of the coronet down to the throat, the doubling nearly continuous except for along the bridge of the nose. Additional doubling can be found on ONE CENT and along portions of the wreath (all from die bounce). Called MS60+ and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS61 and tied for CC#5. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 3; none finer. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Walter Allen collection (Scotland), New Netherlands Coin Co. #44, 6/54:191-Emanuel Taylor 10/60.
