Lot 376 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.
