Lot 269
1828 N-10 R1. Small Date. Repunched 18. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Glossy chocolate and olive brown with frosty light golden brown toning in protected areas, mostly on the obverse, and underlying mint luster on both sides. There is a splash of darker toning at AMERIC with specks of dark crud scattered within this stain. The only other marks are a small, shallow planchet chip in the field before the lips, as struck, and a thin nick in the field over the left side of star 12. MDS. The fields show microscopic radial die flowlines but the repunching on the 18 remains sharp. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS63BN (NGC label included). Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; 1 finer in 64. Only 2 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2606 (PCGS # 36907) .
