1831 N-8 R3 Large Letters PCGS graded MS64+ Red & Brown, CAC Approved
Very attractive bright original mint red fading to medium brown and steel on the highpoints with more than half the original mint color remaining. No spots or stains, only a few minor contact marks. The notable ones are a collection of ticks at the lower point of star 4, a nick on the bottom of the eye, and a collection of tiny abrasions between star 13 and the curl. None of these marks is distracting and this cent has great eye appeal. Looks like a gem cent to the unaided eye. MDS showing a die crack through UNITED-ST but no cud. Graded MS65 in the Wright-Bland condition census. Our grade is MS63. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Masters-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
