EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 30 1817 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown . Lustrous light bluish steel brown with faded mint red covering the protected areas on the right side of the obverse and most of the right half of the reverse. There is a small splash of reddish olive toning at the dentils under the 8 and a spot of very light carbon on the left end of the line under CENT. The only contact mark is a small rim nick at star 8. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal. LDS with a strong ‚ÄúMouse Top‚Äù break resting on top of the head under star 8. A great example of the popular “Mouse” die state. It‚Äôs head is on the left and body on the right with tail trailing behind, and this ‚ÄúMouse‚Äù is the one version of the four little rodents (N-3, 7, 8, & 9) that most closely resembles its namesake. Noyes photo #60913. Our grade is MS60. A great example of this very popular die state. 36574.64/15104731
