1820 L1C N-13 R1. Large Date. PCGS MS63 BN
Lustrous reddish steel brown with underlying very faded mint color showing through on most of the obverse. The reverse is frosty bluish steel brown with hints of very faded red and iridescent rose. The obverse color is suspect but quite attractive, and the satiny mint luster covers even the highest points of the design on both sides. The only notable marks are some very light nicks on the chin, a faint planchet lamination from the dentils under star 2 up to that star, and a shallow planchet void at the lower right of star 9, these last two items as struck. The reverse is choice. Very sharply struck MDS. Most likely from the Randall Hoard of mint state cents of 1816-1820. EAC grade MS62.
