1820 N-9 R3 Large Date, PCGS graded MS64+ BrownLustrous light chocolate and lighter steel brown with peeps of mint red remaining on the obverse; 20% of the reverse still shows mint color. A subtle puff of slightly darker toning is blended into the toning between stars 3 & 4. The only imperfections are a small spot of darker toning over the N in ONE, another right of the T in CENT, and a third under the R in AMERICA. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, with smooth fields and sharp repunching under the foot of the T in CENT. Repunching also shows at the lower left of the 0 in the date. A sharp cent with satiny surfaces and great eye appeal. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and CC#2, his photo #21209. Both census lists contain only two mint state examples of the variety with the next best grading only AU50 or EF45 depending on the list used. Our grade is MS63. A very attractive cent that comes with an important provenance.Certificate Number: 36661.64+/83260164Pedigree: Ex Homer K. Downing 4/5/1948-Willard C. Blaisdell (via Del Bland) 9/1976-R. E.
