LOT 33 1817 N-10 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown . Frosty olive brown and steel with delicate overtones of bluish steel and hints of very faded mint color in a few protected areas. Looks mint state but there is a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices. A glass reveals traces of very fine carbon covering the field around NITE and a little more at the second A in AMERICA. The only mark is a tiny planchet chip just right of the nostril (as struck). M-LDS, die state d. The dentils are weak and only partially visible on both sides, and damage from a tiny screw impressed into the die shows right of the second S in STATES. 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. Noyes photo #33636. Our grade is AU55. 36577.63/15104450
