1820 N-9 R3 Large Date PCGS AU Detail Cleaned
Attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth except for minor roughness around UNITED. No verdigris and the only marks are a dull scratch just in front of the neck, a lighter one under star 6, and a few tiny ticks near the dentils at star 9. A very sharp cent that has excellent eye appeal. May have been retoned long ago but the color looks great. LDS with several light die cracks on the obverse, the final one being a faint crack from the bust tip into the field towards star 1. The earlier crack from the chin is clear and the repunching at the left bottom of the 0 in the date is dull. Our grade is net EF45+. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
