1831 N-12 R1 Large Letters PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved
Frosty light brown with areas of darker brown on both sides. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a small pin prick right of star 1 and a subtle puff of reddish brown toning on the leaves under CA. E-MDS. The obverse is cracked but the radial crack from the outer point of star 13 to the dentils has not formed. There is a clear double profile from the brow lock down to the bottom of the neck with additional doubling on stars 10-13. A very nice cent that comes with an important provenance. Our grade is AU50+, close to AU55. The attribution and Brown-Boka provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
