1817 N-7 R7+ (as a die state) PCGS XF Detail Altered Surface

Sharpness VF30 by EAC standards but covered with uniform very fine granularity under a rather glossy dark steel and olive brown patina. There are a few faint hairline scratches on the forehead and specks of light verdigris on the reverse, including one at the dentils under the stem tip. Extremely rare early die state without the “Mouse Top” break nearly always seen resting atop the head on this variety. Certainly one of the finest among the approximately half dozen known without the “Mouse.” Called VF25 net VG10 and tied for CC#1 honors of 3 “no Mouse” examples listed in the Noyes census, his photo #59215. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
