Lot 214
1828 N-10 R1 PCGS graded MS64BN. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Attractive lustrous light olive blending to darker bluish steel brown and olive. The fields are satiny and offer outstanding eye appeal. It is difficult to find an identifying mark on this cent, so a microscopic V-shaped pre-striking planchet mark on the bottom neck just left of the curl will have to suffice. MDS with fine die flowlines covering the fields on both sides. Called MS65 choice and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #35912. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
Ex Lester 10/19/66:152-C. Douglas Smith 5/8/83. (The collection envelope says, in Doug's usual typed style, "Finest by far ever seen of the variety--certainly unexcelled and in all probability unmatched.").
