1825 N-5 R6+ PCGS Good Detail Scratch

Mostly glossy olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. The sharpness is a solid G4, even a bit better on the obverse, but there are five old but obvious scratches on the obverse: three left of the date, one right of the date, and a dull one down through the 2. In addition there are numerous light scratches on the reverse, all hidden in the natural toning. The surfaces are reasonably smooth but there is a small pit on the right bottom of the N in ONE, and it contains greenish verdigris. The date is strong and the legends are easily readable. This is one of only 17 examples known, and most of those are in very low grade. The finest is graded net F12. An acceptable example of one of the rarest varieties in the Middle Date Cent series (1816-1839). Graded VG7 net AG3 by Noyes, his photo #69296. Our grade is net AG3. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
