1816 N-5 R3 PCGS graded MS65 BrownLustrous light to medium steel brown, the reverse a few shades lighter than the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent. This cent is virtually flawless except for some microscopic specks of darker bluish steel toning on both sides and a minor planchet lamination at the dentils over the left side of the M in AMERICA (as struck). A small spot of the darker steel toning at the right foot of the E in CENT is a good identifying mark. M-LDS, die state c, with flowlined fields and many of the dentils weak or missing. The die lines covering the neck are gone and the repunching at the bottom of the N in CENT is nearly gone. Called MS60+ and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes says Mint State netted to AU55 for the tiny planchet lamination, his photo #35265. Our grade is MS60+, but the MS65 grade assigned by PCGS attests to the exceptional eye appeal this cent offers.Certificate Number: 36535.65/13092870Pedigree: Ex Dr. George P. French, B.
