 SUPERIOR 1817 N-11

LOT 34 1817 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown . Frosty light golden brown with subtle overtones of sea green and light bluish steel. The fields are satiny and lustrous, and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Just a few minor marks including a small wisp of slightly darker toning in the field above star 12, faint traces of an old fingerprint under TA in STATES, and a tiny nick on the bottom of the bust tip. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, showing sharp recutting on the bottom of the N in CENT and crisp dentils on both sides. Called MS62 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #20588. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#2. Our grade is MS62 . 36580.64/13094335 Ex Henry A. Sternberg, M. H. Bolender (Mail Bid Sale) 3/2/1956:1617-Floyd T. Starr, Stack’s 6/13/1984:91-R. E. “Ted” Naftzger, Jr.-Naftzger Estate, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 2/1/2009:39-Terry S. Denman Collection  FINEST 1817 N-11

LOT 35 1817 N-11 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown . Superb lustrous medium steel brown and olive with about 25% of both sides covered with mellowing mint red. Mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The surfaces are nearly flawless. A tiny vertical nick in the field close off the end of the nose and faint traces of a fingerprint at stars 11-12 can help identify this cent. E-MDS, die state a late, with fine radial die flowlines in the fields but all the dentils are clear. Our grade is MS64. Not seen by Noyes or Bland but finer (in our opinion) than the top coin in both census lists. A new discovery from England. Must have been very close to receiving an “RB” designation from PCGS. 36580.65/38208004
