1822 N-8 R4 PCGS AU Detail Corrosion

Sharpness AU50 but the left two-thirds of the reverse is covered with light corrosion and pitting. The obverse is frosty and smooth, void of notable marks, and it has great eye appeal. No marks or verdigris. Frosty steel brown and chocolate with hints of reddish brown toning, mostly on the reverse. MDS with a bisecting die crack on the reverse but the obverse is uncracked. Our grade is net VF35 (a 50/20 split). Considered by many to be tied for second finest known of a variety that is unknown in mint state. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
