1833 N-1 R2 MS60. Noyes and Wright Plate Coin.
1833 N-1 R2 MS60. Noyes and Wright Plate Coin. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel brown with underlying faded mint color showing through in the protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and this cent is choice except for a shallow, disjointed planchet lamination skipping through ICA to the dentils under the wreath, as struck. Otherwise a small diagonal nick on the cheek right of the lips is the only defect. Great luster and eye appeal. M-LDS. Evidence of the top of the misplaced A between the tops of the T & A in STATES is extremely faint, virtually gone. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Wright and Noyes books. Called MS60 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #33852. Bland says MS60 and tied for CC#2 in his census. Removed from an NGC slab grade MS64BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS60. Pop 1. The only example graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2615.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
