1816 N-1 R4 PCGS graded MS65 Brown, CAC ApprovedGlossy light brown blending to light olive and chocolate in protected areas where the surfaces are frosty. Subtle traces of very faded mint red are visible in protected areas on the left side of the reverse, and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. Smooth with trivial marks including a spot of darker toning against the left side of star 8 and a tiny planchet chip right of the F in OF. MDS, die state c, with a series of rim cuds from star 8 to star 11 but the reverse is uncracked. One of only two examples of this scarce variety that is graded mint state by EAC grading standards. Called MS60+ and CC#2 in the Noyes census (William C. Noyes), his photo #27654. Our grade is MS60+ as well. This cent is illustrated on Plate I (obverse 1-2, reverse A) in Howard R. Newcomb's 1944 reference United States Copper Cents 1816-1857. And it comes with a very impressive provenance that includes several of the brightest luminaries in the world of US Large Cent collecting. A great cent to kick off the sale of this superior collection.Certificate Number: 36523.65/30811024Pedigree: Ex Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-C. Douglas Smith 10/1981-R. E.
