Lot 250 – 1820/19 N-3 R2 PCGS MS64BN. EAC MS63

Small Overdate. A dazzling mint state cent with bold cartwheel luster and lots of mint red - about 15% on the obverse and over 90% on the reverse. Where toned, the color is an attractive dark chocolate with blue overtones. Only minor abrasions, none too distracting - tiny scratches at stars 7-8, scratch at O of ONE and faint hairline above. Several mint state coins are known of the variety, including some partially red ones, but the present piece is still a strong contender for a top 6 condition census. EDS.
