1808 S-277 R-2 PCGS MS 66 BN Classic Head Large Cent Coin 1c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded MS 66 BN. Frosty, attractive tan brown with light steel overtones and hints of faded mint red in the protected areas on both sides. There is a tiny, trivial pin prick on the bust tip and a couple reddish
chocolate
spots at AT in STATES and the berry under AM in AMERICA. The surfaces are choice with frosty, brilliant cartwheel
luster
on both sides. Well struck, with light die clashing in front of the profile and strong, forked die breaks on the upper left reverse. Fantastic eye appeal, tied for finest graded of this date by PCGS, listed as CC#2 in the Noyes Census and Tied for CC#2 in Bland, and it comes with an impressive pedigree.
