1831 N-3 R1 Small Letters Reverse MS63. Lustrous steel brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Generous traces of faded mint color are bleeding through the delicate toning on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet resulting in great eye appeal. The only marks, and they are barely visible, are a couple of small spots of lighter reddish tan toning at the ear and in the hair below plus a tiny rim nick at the bottom of the reverse. MDS. Called MS62 in the Noyes census, his photo #56022.
Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included).
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
