1822 N-6 R3 MS60. Lustrous tan and light steel brown with traces of mint red showing on the obverse while 10% of the reverse displays original mint color. A choice cent if not for a carbon spot (might be removable crud rather than carbon) in the field just right of star 4. EDS with slightly reflective fields on both sides. A high condition census piece, the finest grading only a single point better.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
