1828 N-6 R1 MS64. Highly lustrous bluish steel and chocolate with faded mint color in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal with nearly flawless surfaces. A splash of slightly darker toning in the field touching the top of star 11 and another at the foot of the first T in STATES are the only marks. LDS with additional die cracks from the tip of the coronet through star 6 to the dentils and another up from the outer hair bun to the dentils right of star 9. The stray 8 punched at the left edge of the 2 (the so-called 28 over 88 overdate) remains visible. Tiny lumps caused by die rust are scattered over the obverse, as always on this variety. Called MS65 choice and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21819. Bland says MS63 and tied for CC#3. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS65BN (PCGS label included, and it shows the attribution and Naftzger provenance). Now housed in a PCGS MS65 BN holder. (PCGS # 36889).
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
