Lot 208
1828 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous golden tan and brown blending to light chocolate on the highpoints. A light nick on the cheek right of the lower lip, a small spot of darker chocolate toning close above the center dot on the reverse, and a tiny nick under the E in STATES are the best identifying marks. Sharply struck MDS with a faint die crack meandering from the bust tip to the lower right point of star 1. Tiny lumps caused by die rust cover the obverse, as always on this variety. Full radial lines show in all the stars and the dentils are sharp around both sides. The so-called 28 over 88 feature, which in reality is a misplaced 8 punched at the left side of the 2, is obvious. Called MS65 choice and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21253. Bland says MS65 as well but tied for CC#2 in his list. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
