May 2010 Pre-Long Beach Auction #59

详细说明: Lot 44 1817 N-8 R2.PCGS graded MS-65 Brown.Lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with underlying faded mint red covering 20% of the obverse and faint traces remaining on the reverse. Would rate a higher grade if not for some very fine carbon hidden in the curls at star 13, and some of the carbon extends into the field towards star 12. A small spot of very fine carbon in the middle of the jawline and a tiny planchet flake in the dentils over the second T in STATES are the other notable marks. Sharply struck EDS with smooth, slightly reflective fields on the obverse and no trace of the tiny "Mouse break" that forms later on the top of the head. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor defects. Graded MS60+ and tied for CC#5 in the Bland census. Called MS60 net AU55 in the Noyes census, his photo #56704. Our grade is MS60 Plus. Pop 3; None finer at PCGS in Brown for the variety. DWH #2576 (PCGS # 36571) . Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex John R. Pasciuti (Numismatic Associates of New England)-Ed Hipps 6/83-Dr. Phil Ralls 10/84-Wes Rasmussen, Heritage 1/13/05:3385.
