1823 1C Newcomb 2, BN MS (PCGS#36757)

February 2009 Pre-Long Beach Auction #51 - Ted Naftzger Collection Part II

详细说明: 1823 N-2 R2. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Highly lustrous light bluish steel brown with 10% of the original mint red remaining. The only marks are a few tiny ticks on the jawline, a microscopic speck of carbon over the right side of star 10, and a collection of barely visible ticks at the lower left of the O in ONE. None of these marks is at all significant and the eye appeal of this cent is truly outstanding. A very subtle area of slightly darker toning surrounds star 8. Early die state without any hint of crumbling in the dentils at stars 4-5. Called MS65 choice and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21730. Bland says MS65 as well and tied for CC#1. Our grade is MS65. A highlight of this fabulous collection and an extremely rare opportunity to obtain a truly mint state example of the normal date version of 1823. Comes with a very long list of prior owners who were numismatic luminaries in their day. PCGS Population 1; 1 finer in 66BN
