1824 N-3 R2 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Double Profile. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with lustrous golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas on the obverse while tiny peeps of mint color can be found on the reverse. The only marks of any significance are a fine diagonal scratch hidden on the hair bun and two small, light nicks above the junction of the N & E in ONE, plus a pre-striking planchet chip slanting through IT in UNITED. Looks mint state to the unaided eye. MDS, same die state as the preceding lot, but this one has a clear double profile from the forehead down to the chin (from die bounce).
Our grade is AU50+, very close to AU55. The attribution and Fitzgerald provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
Population 2; 4 finer (3 in 63, 1 in 64). Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
Ex Garry Fitzgerald collection.
