1817 N-6 R-1 PCGS MS 65 BN CAC Matron or Coronet Head Large Cent Coin 1c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded MS 65 BN. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with hints of faded mint color in a couple places around the portrait. The obverse is choice, virtually flawless, but the reverse has a few small splashes of darker toning, mostly at ICA. LDS with flowlines extending the outer points of the stars and dull die clashmarks at the N in CENT. The repunching on star 13 is gone. A very nice cent and it comes with a great provenance. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
