^Lot 120 1838 N-14 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Brown

1838 N-14 R4 PCGS graded MS64 BrownLustrous light olive and chocolate brown with frosty lighter steel brown covering the fields. Hints of bluish steel overtone show in the protected areas and this cent has really nice eye appeal. The fields are satiny and very attractive, and the surfaces are virtually void of marks. The notable marks are a couple tiny carbon spots on the lower edge of the bust and a small rim nick below star 1. EDS, die state a, before any rim cuds or crumbling in the dentils over star 7. Nicely struck on the main devices but stars 1-5 do not show all their radial lines and many of the dentils are not fully impressed. Called MS62 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #36903. Bland says MS62 and finest known. Our grade is MS62.
