1817 N-15 R4- EF45+. EF-45+. Frosty olive and steel brown covers half of each side and the other half is a lighter shade of brown. Traces of frosty golden tan faded down from mint color show in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Fine die flowlines create attractive mint luster that covers the fields and protected areas on both sides, and this cent offers excellent eye appeal for the grade. Very close to AU50. The only notable marks are a tiny nick on the neck and a very small spot of darker toning close under the upright of the R in AMERICA. E-MDS with a fine die crack connecting stars 1-3 and complete dentils around both sides, although they are weakening on the reverse. The reverse is not rotated. Called AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #26573. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2895. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Garry Fitzgerald 11/13/68-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19730. Categories:
