1817 N-10 R1 MS63 $1250 |

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. Ex Ronnie Adam, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 9/5/04:688. |
