Lot 215
1828 N-11 R2 PCGS graded MS64RB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to bluish steel brown, half the slightly faded red remaining on the obverse, 25% on the reverse. This is a gem cent except for a small splash of carbon-infused toning under star 3 and a smaller spot tucked inside the upper right points of star 2. Otherwise this is a truly spectacular piece that still offers outstanding eye appeal. MDS. The details are sharply impressed except for stars 4-6, which do not have all their radial lines. Called MS65+ and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and tied for CC#2, his photo #21306. Our grade is MS63. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
