1838 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & BrownLustrous bright mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints, at least two-thirds of the mint color remaining. A monster gem cent except for a shallow planchet void from impurity in the planchet metal on the edge at star 9 (as struck). Otherwise the only marks are faint traces of an old fingerprint around star 5 and a speck of dark toning in the hair under the Y in LIBERTY. This cent has great eye appeal, essentially flawless except for the small planchet defect. Fortunately that mint flaw does not affect any of the devices. M-LDS, die state b late, with traces of the inner circle still visible at the top of the obverse. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Bland census list. Noyes says either MS65 (one list), MS63 (another list), or MS60 net AU50 (different photos of the same coin under a different photo number, which shows why grading from photos can be troublesome), his photo #20995. Our grade is MS65.Certificate Number: 37184.65/25134743Pedigree: Ex Milton A. Holmes, Stack's 10/5/1960:1584-Louis Helfenstein, Lester Merkin 8/14/1964:174-A. Lovi-Robert Batchelder-Jerry A.
