Lot Description

Lot 50 1817 N-10 R1.PCGS graded MS-63 Brown.A very attractive cent with just a hint of friction on the highest points of the design, but there are traces of very fine carbon covering the field around NITE and a little more at the second A in AMERICA. Frosty dark chocolate and steel with delicate overtones of bluish steel and traces of very faded mint color in protected areas. The only mark is a tiny planchet chip just right of the nostril, as struck. Otherwise this cent is mint state and the eye appeal remains quite nice, especially on the obverse. M-LDS. The dentils are weak and only partially visible on both sides, and damage from a tiny screw impressed into the die shows left of the O in OF (appears as a trail of raised lumps on the coin). The obverse is very slightly misaligned to the left so the presence of any rim cud breaks at stars 2 or 3 can not be determined. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS63BN(the attribution and Ronnie Adam provenance are shown on the NGC label, which is included). Our grade is AU55. Pop1; 2 in 65. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety.DWH #2508 (PCGS # 36577) . Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Ronnie Adam, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 9/5/04:688.
