1825 N-10 R3+. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. A sharp mint state cent that we believe was lightly cleaned and nicely retoned a frosty bluish steel brown and chocolate. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. No spots or stains and only a few light contact marks, including a tiny diagonal nick right of star 6, a couple very faint, dull scratches over the N in ONE, and another under that E. M-LDS with strong crumbling in the dentils over star 10, minor crumbling in the dentils from star 8 nearly to star 9, and a fine crack from the ear down to the bust tip and beyond touching the peak of the 1 before reaching the dentils midway between the date and star 1. Called AU50 and CC#4 in the Bland census of confirmed examples. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#4, his photo #25387. Our grade is AU50. Pop 1; 1 in 64. Only 2 examples graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2597 (PCGS # 36808) .
