1838 N-12 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown, CAC ApprovedHighly lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with a few faint wisps of slightly darker bluish steel toning on the neck and in the field under the chin. Hints of very faded mint color can be found in protected areas of the reverse. A small puff of dark bluish steel toning at the dentils right of star 11 is the best identifying mark. E-MDS and sharply struck except for weakness on the upper stars. The dentils are crisp around both sides and the doubling on the reverse (from a doubled die, not die bounce) is obvious on the left side of the wreath, especially at the berry and leaf under TE in UNITED. A satiny, really choice cent; a variety that is usually found in later die states with mushy details due to die wear. The PCGS grade and CAC approval attest to the superior eye appeal of this piece. Called MS62 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21739. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#2 among the confirmed examples in his census. Our grade is MS63+, close to MS64.Certificate Number: 399518.66/13093942Pedigree: Ex W. Allen, New Netherlands Coin Co. #44, 6/1954:196-Emanuel Taylor 10/1960-R. E.
