1816 N-2 R1 AU50. Mint state sharpness but there are numerous tiny nicks on the left side of the obverse, none significant but too many for a mint state cent. The only other defect is a tiny planchet lamination at the dentil tips under the end of the wreath ribbon (as struck). Frosty bluish steel and chocolate with traces of very faded mint color peeking through in a few of the protected areas. E-MDS. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW relative to a normal head-to-foot die orientation. Estimated Value $200-UP
