Description

Tenth Finest 1826 N-3 Cent

1826 1C MS63 Brown NGC. AU55 EAC. N-3, Early Die State, R.3. Full obverse and reverse dentilation, although the left reverse border is typically weak. This is an early die state without any rim crumbling on the obverse, and a sharp center dot on the reverse. The center dot faded away in later die states. A single Gem quality MS65 example of this variety exists, along with eight coins that Del Bland has described as MS60. After that, the Census drops quickly through AU55 to AU50. This example is one of four AU55 coins recorded in Del's notes. Splendid light tan surfaces have darker brown toning in addition to wisps of faded mint color. A couple tiny abrasions are visible on the obverse, while the reverse is choice.
