Lot 211
1828 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown with faint hints of very faded mint color in some of the protected areas on both sides. A tiny nick just right of the eye is the only defect on otherwise flawless surfaces. Excellent eye appeal. M-LDS with tiny lumps caused by die rust covering the obverse. This die must have been taken out of service for a while and left unprotected while it rusted before being recalled to duty. The obverse fields are reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing, no doubt intended to smooth out the effects of the rust. Called MS63 choice and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21254. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#2. Our grade is MS63+. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 66BN.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
