1819 N-3 R3 Close Stars PCGS graded MS62 Brown
Frosty light olive and steel. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has mint state eye appeal in spite of a hint of rub on the highest points. Just a few trivial marks including a small spot of darker toning (not carbon) under the 9, a tiny tick midway between the chin and star 2, and some ticks along the profile of the nose. MDS. There is a faint die crack from the lower edge of the bust towards star 1 and the repunching at the right top of the N in UNITED is still clear. Graded AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #25227. Our grade is AU50. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.

Certificate #36634.62/25649684
