1827 N-6 R-3 PCGS UNC Details Matron or Coronet Head Large Cent Coin 1c

  
PCGS authenticated and graded UNC Details. Frosty light to medium brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highest points of the devices.

There is a hint of rub on the highpoints and the only defects are a low spot over the O in ONE (caused by debris on the die or a planchet void) plus a short scratch left of the O in ONE. The area around the low spot is a darker shade of chocolate brown, probably done intentionally to minimize the appearance of the low spot. There is no trace of corrosion or roughness associated with a removed spot. Otherwise nicely struck MDS with a fine die crack through the date and most of the stars.
