Lot 210
1828 N-7 R3 PCGS graded MS66BN. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Highly lustrous medium brown with light bluish steel overtones. Faded mint color remains visible in protected areas on both sides, mostly on the obverse. Outstanding eye appeal with virtually flawless satiny surfaces. The best identifying marks are a thin, very light diagonal nick under the left edge of the earlobe and a small patch of lighter golden tan toning over the T in CENT. Sharply struck E-MDS without the tiny lumps caused by die rust on the obverse. Fine radial die flowlines cover the fields near the dentils. The misplaced 8 under the left side of the 2 (the so-called 28 over 88 overdate) is clear. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21441. Bland also calls this one MS63 but has it as CC#1 by itself. Our grade is MS65. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
