1818 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Very attractive lustrous medium brown with delicate overtones of light bluish steel. A small area of reddish brown toning just left of star 12 and a thin horizontal nick on the chin are the only notable defects. Sharply struck EDS, before the strong, dull vertical die lines were added down through ICA and the wreath stem. The fields on both sides are smooth and slightly reflective and the dentils are sharp. The always-present die crack from ED to ST and over to F-AMERIC is clear but not strong, and this crack ends with a strong rectangular lump inside the bottom of that C. A scarce die state of a relatively common die variety. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36616. Pop 2; 6 graded higher at PCGS for the variety, 2 in 63, 4 in 64. <DOTLEADER> Estimated Value $600 - UP <I><BR>Ex Avenue Coin & Stamp 6/1982-John D.
